From P to Ao, from sky to earth, from ocean to land, to man, to gods, and back again. When Haumea receives a hailona, (an omen) she strives to avert a tragedy that not even the most unyielding of mothers can avoid. When Makalii and Hk arrive at their grandparents' house, the family confronts a new reality, where grief is cried from the living and from the dead. This is a story of how moolelo infuses resilience and pieces together lives, all woven by the Kumulipo, the ultimate storyteller, who echoes who we are and where we are going.
*This production will be performed in a combination of lelo Hawaii (Hawaiian Language), Hawaii Creole English (Pidgin), and English languages.
Recommended for ages +16
Content Advisories: Themes of grief and loss, spiritual references, and emotional intensity tied to familial struggles.
