Stirring kapa haka and spectacular aerial theatre unite in this stunning theatre production that tells the story of Maui’s life – a thrilling journey of the senses in which gods fly and one man defies them all. Join 61,000 New Zealanders who have already been enchanted by Maui.

Staged over 2 hours with a cast of 18 onstage performers, Maui is a dynamic mix of kapa haka, aerial theatre and contemporary dance with an original score featuring traditional Maori instruments.
