The Haka Party Incident is large scale verbatim theatre that resurrects a significant historical moment in race relations in Aotearoa New Zealand.

In 1979 a group of University of Auckland engineering students rehearsing their annual tradition of a mock haka were confronted by the activist group He Taua.

This incident sent ripples through the nation and changed race relations in Aotearoa New Zealand forever.

The Haka Party Incident is a groundbreaking, thrilling mix of documentary and kapa haka making it a highly significant play in the history of New Zealand theatre.
