The Epic Tale of Hiʻiaka
October 1
Witzend Productions
Written by Roslyn Catracchia and Patrick Makuakāne, with choreography by Patrick Makuakāne
The story of Hiʻiakaikapoliopele began as a Hawaiian oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation. The musical begins with the goddess HIʻIAKA’s quest to find her sister Pele’s dream lover, restore him to life, and deliver him safely to Pele at her crater home. HIʻIAKA and her companions make their way through dangers and ordeals, facing spectral foes and worldly wiles. A very human account of love and lust, jealousy and justice, peopled with deities, chiefs, demons and commoners. At its core, it is a story of two sisters who have a major falling out, the havoc wreaked because of it …. and ultimate redemption.
