From the critically acclaimed Ngā Rangatahi Toa comes a powerful theatre work that brings the experiences of Tāmaki Makaurau's rangatahi to life. Created in just one week, this raw and honest show features an ensemble guided by Aotearoa's top artists—Diggy Dupé, Laughton Kora, Karlos Saunders-Tunks of Kora, and Freshman Dance Crew—captivating the stage with waiata, rap, dance, and sound. Skillfully directed by Hadleigh Pouesi, this is an unmissable experience.

As we enter our third year in Loft in 2024, both our rangatahi and pou ārahi are excited to reunite the whānau, and put on a show like no other!
