The Chronicles of Uitara is the powerful true story of New Zealand, told across many generations of a single family – the warrior line of Uitara –and relayed across a trilogy of dramatic novels, The Arrival, Journey of Ages and Lost in our Own Land. In each story we experience new landscapes, new characters, new villains and heroes. Courage and determination, love, loss, and family are the backbone to the Chronicles of Uitara.
Now, for the very first time, you can witness these stories first-hand through the Chronicles of Uitara collection of culture and heritage experiences. Each live performance acts as a chapter within this stunning story of New Zealand.
This collection, The Storytelling Trail of New Zealand, reaches from the top of the North Island to the heart of the South Island with ‘Lost in our Own Land’ (Christchurch), ‘Journey of Ages’ (Rotorua) and soon to come, ‘The Arrival’ (Manukau).
Trace the footsteps of our ancestors, experience the challenges they faced, and meet their direct descendants within these remarkable Maori storytelling encounters.
Witness powerful Maori re-enactments, shared by more than 120 actors across the country each and every night. Each cultural re-enactment brings a different story from the trilogy to life – you will find yourself in pre-European villages, surrounded by dense forest, amongst a bustling colonial township, set adrift amidst pacific waterways and islands, and on board a railway or a tramway!
The Chronicles of Uitara story brought to life within ‘The Storytelling Trail of New Zealand’ promises a significant deeply integral visitor encounter with our nation, our landscapes and our people. Share the Maori stories and enjoy this stunning cultural product.
