Go Kiwi! Ihi FrENZy sees Royal New Zealand Ballet join
forces with Te Matarae I Orehu, a 40-strong Maori performance group
from Rotorua. Add to the mix music by Split Enz and you've got a
showcase for the best of New Zealand's artistic treasures. The
first half of the programme, Ihi (power), shows traditional Maori
performance at its best - if you thought the All Blacks' haka was
fierce, think again! Then choreographer Mark Baldwin's
FrENZy takes the audience on a journey that is as Kiwi as
it comes. FrENZy features the music of Split Enz, one of
New Zealand's most loved bands.
