Step into the world of Te Mātāwai, a Kāinga Ora community a stones throw from The Basement, where everyday life becomes extraordinary. In this vibrant, heartfelt show, the residents take the stage to share their stories, poems and inights—offering a window into the highs, lows, and everything in between of living in social housing.

With raw honesty, crack up stories, and some hearty wisdom, Life is for Living celebrates the resilience, camaraderie, and joy that thrives in these communities. Through moments of laughter, struggle, and truth, the show invites you to reflect on what it means to live, to survive, and to find joy in everyday life.
