The Kuia and the Spider



Yesterday, Taki Rua Productions performed Te Kuia me te Pungawerewere. The play was in Te Reo Maori, however it was an ideal opportunity for our kids to practise their inference skills. 

Show Synopsis This show is about two main characters (Pūpai and Kui), and other characters they meet on an adventure. It is in te reo Maōri, but you should be able to understand what is happening from all the action and expressions. A spider named Pūpai and a kuia named Kui, have been living in the same house on the beach in Paekākāriki. For decades they have argued about who has the best weaving.

Have you read the book?
