“...masterful,
exhilarating and surprising”
There
is a wind peculiar to Maui that rises at twilight. It whispers of other
places and other times, both mythic and real. It blows between daylight
and night, between times and worlds. It is hopeful and cleansing. The
ancient Hawaiian name for this wind is “'Ulalena.” It is also the name
of the newest and most amazing stage production to come from Hawaii in
decades.
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 of the islands and rolls through
successive waves of voyagers who have found their way to these shores.
From the first Polynesians to Captain Cook, and finally to us.
This is a unique and compelling story. One worth telling.
And Maui Myth & Magic Theatre presents a theatrical experience as
impressive as the story. This is not just a theatre. It is a multi-million
dollar, state-of-the-art venue built for this presentation. It employs
the talents of some of Hawaii'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 filigree of fantastic images
drawn from Hawaiian legend and history, pulling the viewer out of time
and into a place of wonder, experiencing with awe the spirit-filled landscape
of the imagination of the ancient Hawaiian story tellers.
'Ulalena
is a wind unique to Maui, as said in the Kumulipo, an ancient Hawaiian
creation chant, as well as a red-yellow colored rain revealed by the twilight.
Like a soft wind in the mist of light.
'Ulalena
invites each spectator to a place of wonder.
"It
is often said that life is a journey, an individual voyage which does
not necessarily involve change of place. One is changed by events and
the passage of time."
Eugenio Barba
The Paper Canoe, A Guide to Theatre Anthropology
'Ulalena
explores relationships between people, nature and mythology. The use of
metaphors integrates Hawaiian chants and dances, original music and choreography,
lighting and projections to support the talents of unique performers.
'Ulalena
is a journey where the moment-to-moment excitement of self-discovery is
the destination.
