Ulalena Theater: The power of this production is that it is both universal and intimate. Born from a mythology populated by beings larger than life representing a natural landscape alive with volcanoes, vast oceans and primeval rain forests. The story begins with the mythic creation fot he islands and rolls through successive waves of voyagers who have found their way these shores. From the first Polynesians to Capt Cook and finally to us. This is a unique and compelling story. This multi-million dollar, state of the art theatre was built from the ground up specifically for this unique theatrical production. It empolys the talents of some of Hawai'i's most distinguished musicians and performers, combining live traditional Hawaiian music with 8 channel surround sound. Every seat maintains a sense of intimacy and interaction with the performance. Traditional Butoh theatre is blended with acrobatic feats of strength and beauty. Hula is combined with modern dance. Rich costumes, lighting and stage design are woven together into a filagree of fantastic images drawn from Hawaiian legend and history, pulling the viewer out of time and into a plance of wonder, experiencing with awe the spirit-filled landscape of the imagination fo the ancient Hawaiian story tellers.
