SUMMARY:Te Tangi a Te Tūī | Maori cirque theatre work
DESCRIPTION:A stunning Maori cirque theatre work performed in Te Reo Maori\, telling the allegorical story of Aotahi and her son Piri as they navigate powerful supernatural beings representing the colonial forces that displaced their people. The production is a collaboration between Te Rehia Theatre and The Dust Palace circus company\, combining aerial acrobatics\, physical theatre\, and Indigenous storytelling in an immersive and visually striking performance. Tickets are available through the NAC website and the run spans four evenings from Thursday June 4 through Sunday June 7. The Azrieli Studio at the NAC is an intimate black-box-style space at 1 Elgin Street in downtown Ottawa. This production is recommended for general adult audiences and older youth interested in world theatre and circus arts. \nSet in Aotearoa (New Zealand)\, Te Tangi a Te Tūī follows Aotahi\, a woman living peacefully on her ancestral land near a mysterious forest inhabited by supernatural beings. After the birth of her son Piri\, the first male born into their family for generations\, an ancient curse is awakened. As Piri grows older\, two powerful forces begin fighting for control over his future: Te Pua o Te Reinga\, a grieving Patupaiarehe seeking to resurrect her lost lover through Piri\, and Kōiriiri\, the cursed Bird Man determined to escape his torment by making Piri take his place. \nBlending mythology\, family legacy\, and themes tied to the lasting impacts of colonization\, this visually striking cirque theatre production explores love\, identity\, language\, and generational struggle. Performed entirely in Te Reo Māori\, Te Tangi a Te Tūī delivers an immersive and emotionally powerful theatrical experience from Aotearoa/New Zealand. \nEvent details can change\, so verify with the organizer before attending.

SUMMARY:Evenings at Zibi
DESCRIPTION:Evenings at Zibi is a curated outdoor series running approximately every two weeks on Saturdays from 5 to 10 PM between June and September 2026\, set at Head Street Square (310 Miwate Private) in Zibi\, one of Ottawa’s newest and most distinctively designed waterfront neighbourhoods along the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau. \nEach edition brings together local artisans\, makers\, food vendors\, musicians\, and creative collaborators against the scenic backdrop of the Chaudière Falls district. Unlike a traditional market\, collaborators are encouraged to go beyond selling by offering live demos\, customization\, or interactive experiences within their booths\, making each evening a lively and memorable outing rather than a simple browse. \nThe programming blends art activations\, music performances\, food\, and unique community-driven experiences that shift with each edition. The riverfront setting and relaxed pace make it well-suited for families\, couples\, and anyone who enjoys discovering local makers and culture in an outdoor atmosphere. \nEvenings at Zibi is free to attend and easily reached by bike or transit. Exact dates\, vendor lineups\, and programming details are announced closer to each edition on the Zibi and Ottawa Tourism websites. \nEvent details can change\, so verify with the organizer before attending.
