Hawaiian language and history at Kennedy Theatre
The University of Hawai?i at 惭ā苍辞补’s presents the world premiere of ?Au?a ?Ia: Holding On September 27 through October 6 on the Kennedy Theatre mainstage.
- .
In this new production, four 东精影业 惭ā苍辞补 haumāna (students) are transported into pivotal moments in the history of Hawai?i, meeting legendary figures, experiencing mele and hula in those times and witnessing their cultural history transpire. Kumu Tammy 贬补颈濒颈?ō辫耻补 Baker, associate professor and director of the Hawaiian Theatre Program at 东精影业 惭ā苍辞补, is the playwright and director of this Hana Keaka (Hawaiian theatre) play, which will be performed predominantly in the Hawaiian language with bi-lingual segments.
A commitment to language and history
At the heart of ?Au?a ?Ia: Holding On is a faithful account of Hawai?i’s past, from the perspective of the four haumāna. While researching a project for class, they embark on a journey that takes them into the repository of 19th century Hawaiian language archival materials. They connect with their kūpuna (ancestors), explore the meaning of mana (divine power/authority), and interrogate the histories of Ko Hawai?i Pae ??ina (the Hawaiian archipelago).
“It’s a story that parallels my experience and the experience of my friends and colleagues who have made a commitment to learn our language, which has helped us to make sense of our history so that we can stand firm on that foundation and not hide from our history,” Baker said. Much of the script integrates source materials from the time, including newspaper accounts, correspondence and other historical documents.
One of the strengths of the play is how accessible it is. “Not everyone is on the same canoe…on the same journey,” Baker said.
The four main characters all have different connections with their heritage. Some are very much grounded in their culture, while others are still discovering their “Hawaiian-ness” for the first time. Through the collective journey they take, however, they come out of it more connected with their past. Baker said, “They push each other, and they become better people from it.”
