Haina ia mai ana ka puana… Puana explores the deep connections that Knaka Maoli have with their kpuna (ancestors) through song. Family artifacts reveal stories encapsulated in poetic compositions from the past, which guide contemporary musicians in their artistic journeys. This original hana keaka, Hawaiian language theatrical production, is a collaborative endeavor between UHM’s Hawaiian Theatre Program and Ka Waihona A Ke Aloha, a project of Kawaihuelani Center for Hawaiian Language. Puana brings together nationally and internationally renowned artists, professor and playwright/director Tammy Hailipua Baker, professor, composer and Kumu Hula R. Keawe Lopes, Jr., Kumu Hula Tracie Kanohilani Lopes, N Hk Hanohano award-winning musician and composer Zachary Alakai Lum, and Mori composer and award-winning recording artist Tawaroa Kawana.
This hana keaka production will be performed predominantly in ‘lelo Hawai‘i.
UHM Kennedy Theatre is at 1770 East-West Rd, Honolulu HI 96822, Honolulu, HI.
