Taki Rua Productions is a national, kaupapa Māori performing arts organisation based in Pōneke.

We produce, commission and develop theatre works through a distinctively Māori lens, while advocating for the wider industry.

​

Since 1983, Taki Rua has been an arts industry leader – a creative rule breaker, continually evolving the definition of Māori theatre.
We exist to connect the past and present and ensure Māori voices are heard worldwide.

​

Taki Rua generally produces at least 3 productions per year. Our Te Reo Māori tour into primary kura, our Tawhio Te Reo Tarakihi that tours targeting ECE aged tamariki and their whānau, and a Main Bill Production, either locally produced or as a touring production.

We are always interested to hear about new works and ideas, so if you are an actor or a creator with an awesome pitch, do get in touch with us. 

Taki Rua is an incorporated society that is governed by a volunteer board, with an operational team based in our offices – Te Haukāinga – in Taranaki Street.
