Location Te wāhi
Aotea Square | Aotea – Te Papa Tū Wātea
To celebrate women’s football, Papaya Stories has designed a brand-new immersive audio adventure to inspire locals and visitors to celebrate Auckland's sights, history and highlights through music, dance and theatre.
First meet your host in Aotea Square, then don your headphones and tune into the hour-long programme of pre-recorded audio entertainment where you’ll be invited to play, move and dance.
Be inspired to interact with your surroundings in fresh new ways as everything around you comes to life, with strangers transforming into performers, and public spaces becoming a dance floor - or maybe even a football field? Featuring a playlist that reflects the art, music and culture of whichever teams are playing, the groovy Papaya Stories team will move you to warm up before each game.
Then to cap the experience off, prepare for an epic dance battle that celebrates traditional cultural elements of the teams playing in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup that night.
Suitable ages 7 and up.
