- “As the tūakana of Māori theatre Taki Rua enjoys a position of acceptance within the wider New Zealand demographic and with that, a responsibility to the Māori community upon which it was built… [this] inevitably brings us to the elephant in the room of what is Māori theatre?” - Maraea Rakuraku (Read the full review here) At the panel discussion held at Downstage on Wed 26 June, Taki Rua Artistic Director James Ashcroft, along with the cast of Sydney Bridge Upside Down discussed with authors Kate de Goldi and Hamish Clayton what Māori Theatre means to him. There will be another panel discussion after the Fri 5 July performance of Sydney Bridge at 9:30pm. What does Māori theatre mean to you? What does New Zealand theatre mean to you? This is a topic which warrants thoughtful discussion in all situations, not just our panel discussion. What is the future of theatre? What responsibilities does it have to its past? What do you hope for its future? Share your thoughts with us, on Facebook, at our Twitter, or by emailing theatre@downstage.co.nz
