The Matariki Glow Show - which is visiting Whanganui this month - is a giant-scale puppet show suitable for 2 to 10-year-olds using magical glow-in-the-dark characters from Māori myth and legend.
The show features more than 50 glow-in-the-dark puppets under ultraviolet light in a black-box theatre environment.
Rich in te reo Māori, it is promoted as an upbeat show that has the audience buzzing from the outset.
The 40-minute show brings a bit of magic to Kiwi kids as the puppets, including a 5m taniwha, tell the story of the Matariki and Puanga stars, to a backdrop of catchy music that engages the audience.
The show will be followed by a Q&A session.
