KAHEKILI

Kumu Hula Hōkūlani Holt and her hālau Pa'u O Hi'iaka, together with nā Kumu Hula Keali'i Reichel and Pali Ahue, reconstructed her original hula drama, Kahekili, which takes the audience into pre-contact Hawai'i through chant, Hawaiian martial arts, kahiko (traditional hula), and dramatic narration.

Kahekili was made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts as part of the American Masterpieces: Dance initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts.
Additional support for 2008-09 season by Hawai‘i Tourism Authority/CNHA and The Charles Engelhard Foundation. Supported in part by National Endowment for the Arts, State Foundation for Culture and the Arts, County of Maui, Cole Family Foundation, Jimmy & Honey Bun Haynes and KPOA Radio.
