On the 20th October 2015 I went to see a dance production called Kapa Haka Tale at The Lowry theatre in Salford with the Truth Dance Company.
It is a maori love story telling the tale of a young woman who had a marriage arranged for her with someone she does not love. She loves somebody else and the production is about her struggles to eventually be with the person she loves.
The story is told through dance and all the dialogue was in the Maori language. I interpreted the story from the dance movements and the actions of the characters.
A part I liked about the performance was the pre-show audience interaction. The cast came amongst the audience and did some Maori actions and interacted with some members of the audience.
It was an enjoyable and interesting experience. I have never been to a dance performance like this before. I think it is something I would like to go to again
