Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana… Puana explores the deep connections that Kānaka Maoli have with their kūpuna (ancestors) through song. Family artifacts reveal stories encapsulated in poetic compositions from the past, which guide contemporary musicians in their artistic journeys. This original hana keaka, Hawaiian language theatrical production, is a collaborative endeavor between UHM’s Hawaiian Theatre Program and Ka Waihona A Ke Aloha, a project of Kawaihuelani Center for Hawaiian Language. Puana brings together nationally and internationally renowned artists, professor and playwright/director Tammy Hailiʻōpua Baker, professor, composer and Kumu Hula R. Keawe Lopes, Jr., Kumu Hula Tracie Kaʻōnohilani Lopes, Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-winning musician and composer Zachary Alakaʻi Lum, and Māori composer and award-winning recording artist Tawaroa Kawana.
