Hawaiian History Month 2024: PUANA - Learn about the new and upcoming hana keaka

Written and directed by Tammy Hailiʻōpua Baker with Kaipulaumakaniolono Baker, in concert with artistic collaborators R. Keawe Lopes, Jr., Tracie Kaʻōnohiokalani Lopes, Zachary Alakaʻi Lum, Tawaroa Kawana, the new hana keaka (Hawaiian Theatre) production 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.

In this panel discussion, the various designers will share about their roles in developing this production.
