As part of our He Toi Hou programme, Kia Mau Festival presents a bold and beautiful night of cabaret-style performance, where poetry meets music, dance, and song. This is Love Letterz.

Curated by poet, composer, and classical singer Cadence Chung, this vibrant event brings together four remarkable young artists, each drawing from the world of poetry to inspire something entirely their own. Expect an evening of genre-crossing creativity, raw talent, and fresh perspectives.

Experience the intricate compositions of Estella Wallace, a rising star in contemporary classical music. Be moved by the striking physicality of Weichu Huang's dance performance. Take in the evocative verse of Joshua Toumu’a, a poetic voice full of tenderness and power. And hear the premiere of a brand-new song cycle composed and performed by Cadence Chung, set to the words of fellow poet Jackson McCarthy.

This is an interdisciplinary showcase that celebrates words not just read, but danced, sung, and lived. Fun, fearless, and accessible — whether you’re a poetry lover, music fan, or just looking for something a little different, An Evening of Poetry-Inspired Performance promises a night to remember.

A World Premiere Season, join us to celebrate this new work.

Content Warning includes a PG Rating, coarse language (a few swears).

He Toi Hou - New Works brings together the most innovative and thought-provoking contemporary Indigenous performances. This pou is a testament to the spirit of creation and offers a space for fresh, dynamic works to make their debut, allowing audiences to experience the raw power and authenticity of new voices or old voices in new ways.

Kia Mau Festival is at the forefront of contemporary Tāngata Whenua, Tāngata Moana, and Indigenous arts in Aotearoa and beyond. We are innovators—pushing boundaries, redefining forms, and forging new paths with creative risk-taking at every step.Right here, right now, we bring together local, national, and international artists in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. We find the intersection where our stories intertwine, creating an experience that is uniquely 'local' yet unparalleled in Pōneke throughout the year.

Kia Mau Festival offers a truly unique experience, led by Tāngata Whenua, Tāngata Moana, and Indigenous voices at every level—from our leadership to our artists and audiences. Unlike any other festival, we are not just a platform for presentations; we are a hub for kōrero and whanaungatanga.
