It’s the same musical performance from Charles and Emily of Aro, but moving about with noise from the audience is cool! All are welcome to attend.

Te Whare Hononga (Taranaki Cathedral)

UPU

An Audio Described performance and Touch Tour is available for UPU. 

Audio Described performances provide a live audio commentary by passionate professionals from Audio Described Aotearoa Ltd as they describe the actions onstage.

This commentary is relayed to blind and low-vision patrons via an earpiece which can be booked in advance. Touch Tours are held one hour before the show. Patrons can walk through the set, touch props, feel costumes and familiarise themselves with visual and sensory materials in the performance.

A complimentary companion ticket is available when booking.
