— On Ōkāreka Dance Company’s Mana Wahine - Theatreview“A rich fusion of choreography, music, tikanga Maori and performance practices, AV, lighting and performance design”
Enter a world of sacred eagles that blends the ancient with the modern. From spirit eagles land explores parallels between the Hōkioi (Haast) Eagle and the Vwōhali (American Golden) Eagle, embodying the majesty and mana of those two sacred birds and their shared whakapapa. Swooping and soaring, the dancers’ movement is enhanced by a cinematic surround-sound experience that cleverly transports you between Aotearoa, Duyuktv (Cherokee) land and the spiritual realm.

Uru mai ki te ao o ngā īkara tapu e kōmitimiti ana i te tawhito ki te hou.
Kei te torohē From spirit eagles land i ngā ōritetanga i waenga i te Hōkioi (Haast Eagle) me te Īkara Vwōhali (American Golden), e whakatinana i te korōria me te mana o ēnei manu tapu e rua, me tō rāua whakapapa ngātahi.
Ka kurutohitohi, ka rere, ka whakarākeitia te neke a ngā kaikanikani e tētahi wheako whakaari puoro-karapoti e kawe atamai ana i a koe i waenganui i Aotearoa me te whenua o Duyuktv (Cherokee), me te ao wairua.
