Ka Tiri o Te Moana

Atamira Dance Company presents a groundbreaking collaboration between founding member and recent laureate Louise Pōtiki Bryant, Atamira dance artists, and renowned designers Paddy Free and Rowan Pierce. Together, they will create Ka Tiri o te Moana, a site-specific live performance and digital installation that confronts the global crisis of sea level rise driven by the melting of Antarctic ice. This powerful work addresses the profound impact of climate change on communities, both locally and internationally. Drawing on a Kāi Tahu worldview, Ka Tiri o te Moana explores the deep connections of southern iwi to Antarctica and the Southern Oceans.
