Traditional Pacific performance collides with urban street culture in a show fizzing with energy, magic and heart.

See skateboarders, kapa haka and poi dancers perform against a live soundscape of drums, electronic loops and traditional Maori instruments, taonga pūoro.

The whirling, revolution of motion transforms into a breathtaking aerial duet starring award winning integrated artist Rodney Bell.
