Lake Rotomahana. Lake Rotomakariri.

Two lakes forever woven into the story of Tarawera.

This waiata also features Guide Tihi, representing the guides of the terraces who traversed these waters, hosting visitors from around the world to the healing waters of Te Tarata and Ōtūkapuarangi. Through their manaakitanga, the beauty and stories of Rotomahana were shared far beyond Aotearoa.

Tarawera. Ruawāhia. Wahanga. Our maunga.

We call to our maunga, acknowledging both the mountain that once was and the mountain that emerged on 10 June 1886.

Our maunga waiata and movement remembers the beauty, the loss, the resilience, and the enduring connection between our people and our maunga.

Though the landscape may be altered, its stories continue to live on. They remain in our whakapapa, our waiata, and in the generations who continue to carry them forward.

Our guy wepiha.webster caught up with some of our guests after the show to hear their thoughts.

One phrase kept coming up again and again…”Auahi ana!” 🔥

As we prepare for tonight’s show and our closing performance tomorrow night, we’re honestly overwhelmed by the response. To have every show sold out and to see so many people connect with this story means more than we can put into words.

Ngā mihi nui e te iwi for your support, your aroha, and for coming along on this journey with us ❤️

Te Tarata ✨

Our modern-day expression of the breathtaking Pink and White Terraces - a place of extraordinary beauty, known by many as the 8th Wonder of the World.

Through this waiata and movement, we honour the legacy of Te Tarata and the stories that remain long after the landscape was forever changed by the eruption. They live on through our stories, our memories, and through us ❤️

We can’t believe we’re writing this… but we are OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! 🤯❤️

To everyone who grabbed a ticket, shared a post, told a mate, or backed this kaupapa in any way - thank you. The support has honestly blown us away.

If you missed out and still want to come, your best bet now is to start ringing your aunties, uncles, cousins, neighbours and anyone you may be able to bribe for their tickets 😅

Again, a never ending mihi to you all! ❤️

Take a look through some of the photos and see if you can spot yourself! 📸👀

If you were there, we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below and let us know what you thought of the show, your favourite moment, or a message for our cast and crew.

We’ve got two matinee performances today, and we’ll be sharing your comments with the cast before they take the stage. Your words of encouragement will help inspire them as they continue bringing this important story to life.

Today, 140 years after the eruption that forever changed our landscape and our people, our cast and crew gathered at Lake Tarawera.

It feels especially fitting that on this day, we open Te Whare Tapere - Tērā te Auahi.

This kaupapa has been carried with deep care, aroha and responsibility. We know these stories belong to our people, our whenua and our whakapapa.

As the curtain rises tonight, we do so with gratitude and humility. We hope we can honour this history, do these stories justice, and make our whānau proud.

140 years on, we remember ❤️
