Motuhake
Motuhake (I am Special) is a highly interactive and magical show for children and families. This story is set in an imaginary world where the young boy gets spooked as he journeys through adventures and finds puppets that come to life. Through this he discovers the special talents that only he and the puppets have. These talents are made even more special when they explore sharing them with others. It is an adventure story about friendship, sharing and unity. It shows how working together and using our many different talents, we can make the whole stronger and more special. He waka eke noa. All working together as one.
