Experience the profound connection between body, spirit, and nature in Pūheke, a new solo work by renowned choreographer Louise Pōtiki Bryant. Emerging from a deeply personal journey of healing, Pūheke draws inspiration from the movement and whakapapa of water, guided by the powerful Atua Wahine, Parawhenuamea.

This evocative work explores the flooding force of Parawhenuamea, who governs the freshwater that flows from the mountains to the sea. Through Pūheke, Bryant channels the transformative power of water as a means to reset both the environment and the self. An intimate exploration of the elemental forces that shape and heal us all. 


This show is a part of Te Rerenga o Tere | Tempo Dance Festival 2024 at Q Theatre, 10 - 20 October 2024. Check out the full festival line up here.
