The lyrically beautiful, theatrical experience melds the unbridled hilarity and unexpected poignancy of clowning with awe-inspiring imagery, whimsical music and amusement park thrills

He Reo Aroha
New Zealand/aotearoa

From an early age Kaia had been trained to sing and groomed for greatness. Pascoe also sang, with his father, all the while working on the fishing boats.

One night their voices meet and created a love that remains with them for a lifetime. Kaia leaves, for Europe, for privilege and prestige. Pascoe has another path, following in his father’s footsteps, a boat of his own, a life of hard work.

However, their lives do not appear to be all they seem, all that they want. What gets them through is music, what will get them together is love.

Written by emerging writers Jamie McCaskill and Miria George, He Reo Aroha has toured internationally and received standing ovations. Directed by Hone Kouka and featuring original music written and performed by Kali Kopae and Jamie McCaskill.
