New Zealand Dance Company, New Zealand String Quartet, and Chamber Music New Zealand have collaborated to develop and present a new work 100 Winds | Taupō Hau Rau, imagined and choreographed by NZDC Artistic Director Moss Te Ururangi Patterson (Ngāti Tūwharetoa).
Rooted in a deep connection to the land and winds of Lake Taupō, 100 Winds uses the metaphor of wind and music of American minimalist composers Philip Glass and Steve Reich to explore the shifting cultural, political, and social currents within New Zealand's Māori and Pākehā communities. The performance draws from the historical and symbolic significance of the region's 100 winds, representing the diverse and often turbulent forces that shape our lives.
It examines how individuals and society can remain centered and hold onto core values during times of significant change.
