TAHI Festival 2026
FLIGHT CLUB
New work in development premiering at TAHI, in partnership with Creative NZ and BATS Theatre.
After a young man receives concerning news from home, he must return and tell his father the ultimate final story.
blackpill
In the deepest reaches of the online manosphere, incels (involuntary celibates) preach their dogmatic ideology, express profound hatred for women, and share their own pervasive loneliness. But what draws young men into these spaces, and why do they stay?
Judy’s Encore
It’s 1967, and Judy Garland is back, ready to reclaim her legacy after the heartbreak of her previous Australian tour. With her iconic voice, wit, and resilience, Judy steps onto the stage once more, determined to captivate hearts and silence the critics.
STILL HERE by Dave & The Daves
Described as "a depression comedy" and "a 60-minute lifeline from the stage," STILL HERE blends character comedy, storytelling and six original live songs across punk, rock, folk, lullaby, hip-hop and psych-folk into a funny and moving exploration of mental health.
Dinner's getting cold
New work in development premiering at TAHI, in partnership with Creative NZ, BATS Theatre and Taki Rua Productions.
Dinner's getting cold is a sharp, dark comedy in which one woman does her best to keep herself company as the evening stretches on and the truth becomes harder to ignore.

Flutter
Flutter is perfect for children aged 3-7, and is sure to delight audiences young and old. Flutter is a magical story of a glow worm who fell from the stars and a bat who is afraid of the dark.

An Order of Magnitude
An Order of Magnitude is the tiniest treat on repeat. An intermingled, tangential spaghetti of mime sketches weave together to create an imaginary entrée of great ambition and a chat afterwards, or come back and experience it all over again.
All ages. This is a ‘pay what you can’ performance.
