Nānā I Ke Kumu (Look to the Source) ❀ Performance, Théâtre Douze, Paris 20:15 – 21:45
We close our Hula Weekend and Festival with a unique opportunity to see an authentic
hula kahiko and ‘auana performance by one of the most distinguished hālau from Hawai'i
for the first time ever in France. True to their kuleana to both honor and be kumu,
sources, Hālau Mele will not only perform dances, chants and live music, but will include
accompanying explanations in order to provide European audiences with a broader
understanding of Hawaiian culture and hula.
The hula perpetuated and created by Hālau Mele are not seen in competitions, they
are performed for ceremonies, rituals, to honor the ‘āina, the ‘ike, the kūpuna, the traditions. This is another facet, another purpose of hula, one that is much less visible, especially here in Europe.
Nānā I Ke Kumu will be unlike any other performance you are likely to see, a very
complete, very unique experience, and a “must” for anyone who loves hula and wants to
know more about the kumu, the sources of hula.
