Ka Lei Hanohano

A HULA PRODUCTION: ANCIENT AND MODERN HAWAIIAN DANCE

The Ka Lama Mohala Hula Group and San Francisco’s own Halau o Keikiali`i, presents a hula production entitled, “Ka Lei Hanohano” (The Esteemed Lei). This performance will showcase ancient and modern Hawaiian Mele (songs) through haunting chants and mesmerizing hula. The performance is set for Saturday, March 21, at 5:00 pm and will be held at the theater at Hunter High School in West Valley City. Doors open at 4:00 pm. Ticket prices are $10.00 pre-sale ($15 at the door).
This production “Lei Hanohano” is in honor and in memory of Melinda Lei Hanohano. The Lei (floral wreath) have many connotations. Its most literal being a wreath entwined with various flowers and foliage. Pua or flowers in mele (songs) symbolize people, location, feelings and emotions. On a deeper level and in this case, the lei symbolizes a loving family who all came together, uniting to support a common cause which was to help promote and perpetuate the Hawaiian Culture through their many endeavors being involved at the Center. Melinda had a pivotal role and was often seen as being one of the "back-bone" of the Center. Melinda will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Hawai`i’s last king, Kawika Kalakaua once said, “Hula is the language of the heart, and therefore the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people”. The center has been working with Kumu Hula Kawika Alfiche with Halau o Keikiali`i of San Francisco. He will also be bringing his students to perform at this event, says Kumu Kawika, “Our audience will enjoy a powerful performance and gain a deeper understanding of Hawai`i, its people and traditions. The ancient songs and dances teach us of Hawai`i’s ancient histories. Through hula we learn of our past which then guides our future.” Dances of the old and new will be presented along with story telling, chant, haunting melodies and elaborate clothing.
The Midvale Hawaiian Cultural Center was established in 2006 with the help of the Ka Lama Mohala Foundation with the mission of preserving and perpetuating all things Hawaiian.

You may purchase tickets in advance at the Hawaiian Cultural Center.
