January 25: Hilo; Palace Theater; Hawai`iana Live! "Nā Hulu Manu, Beloved Elders" The month of Kā`elo, in the wet season of Ho`oilo, is a time for sharing mo`olelo, stories with lessons. So many of these stories were passed down to us by our kūpuna, elders.
Join us as Manu and Leilehua share stories from their own kūpuna. Our featured video presents an interview with the beloved Diana Aki, and our special guests, Uncle Stan Kaina and Pi`ilani Rodrigues share hula from our beloved hulu manu.
Hawai`iana Live! is now in its sixth year, providing a different program each Wednesday, following the changing Hawaiian seasons, exploring different aspects of Hawaiian history and natural history. Rick Mazeraski opens the show with the resounding strains of the Palace Theater's vintage pipe organ.
Quack Moor shares a bit of the history of Hilo's historic Palace Theater before introducing the Palace Theater’s cultural practitioners, Leilehua Yuen and Manu Josiah as they use hula, chant, story, and song to depict the history and culture of Hawai`i.
"Hawai`iana Live!" presents a different facet of Hawaiian history and culture each Wednesday at 11:00 am in the Palace Theater, 38 Haili St. Hilo. $5 general admission. Keiki under 12 free. For more information, on the theater and the show, call 934-7010.
