The premiere of the award winning ghosty comedy Hemo is Home opens the newly built Te Pou Theatre.
Nau mai ki te ao o Hemo! Welcome to Hemo’s weird and wonderful world with his quirky ghost whānau who raise him in the urupā, a mauri munching Patupaiarehe, the Spice Girls and a mysterious ghost pig.
In just a few days Hemo will turn 10 which means he will finally be able to leave the safety of his urupā home and see the world – the only thing stopping that from happening is the Patupaiarehe who needs to devour Hemo’s mauri before he achieves this milestone. With the help of his Nanny Gugu and the rest of his ghost whānau Hemo only has to survive a few more days – but will the love of his family be enough to keep young Hemo safe?
Hemo is Home was written by Tainui Tukiwaho with his tamariki Te Rongopai, Jade, Paku, Le-Toya and Mia during lockdown 2022. The play has gone on to be runner up for the NZ Playmarket Adam Award and a recipient of Brown Ink 2022.
This is a not to be missed premiere made by whānau, about the love of whānau. Nau mai haere mai ki te Urupā!
