Experience a highly interactive musical puppet show on Saturday 16th June at 11am:
Toro Pikopiko Puppet’s ‘Te Rerenga - The Flight’ features 80 ‘Flatsie’ puppets inspired from ancient cave drawings around the Timaru district. The show re-tells a Ngai Tahu legend about a Birdwoman called Pourangahua and her epic flight to Aotearoa, with the aid of Matariki stars and migrating whales. She flies from cave to cave, valley to valley, meeting a host of colourful characters including bats, creepy crawlies, Moa & Pouakai Eagles, all the while pursued by a bevy of bird hunters.
The hour-long show is performed in English, with some te reo maori waiata. It takes its audience back in time a thousand years, where they help animate a multitude of rock art characters. Children will learn about our amazing rock-art heritage while interacting with rock-art puppets throughout the show.
Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
