CLICK HERE for tickets
The 2019 Kū Mai Ka Hula competition weekend begins with this special presentation and panel discussion facilitated by Maui’s own Kumu Hula Hōkūlani Holt with participation by Maui Kumu Hula and their hālau that include Pā`ū O Hi`iaka, Hālau Kamaluokaleihulu, Hālau Nā Lei Kaumaka O Uka and Hālau o Ka Hanu Lehua.
Traditional procreation chants and dances often celebrate and encourage the continuation of ali‘i family lines. Hula Ma‘i are often misunderstood and misinterpreted in modern Western contexts. This presentation will look at several chants as poetical expressions as well as
exhibit them in hula form.
The program will include adult subject matter so parental discretion is advised.
