There is a wind and rain particular to Maui that rises at twilight. It whispers of other places and other times, both mythic and real. It blows between daylight and night, between times and worlds. It is hopeful and cleansing. The ancient Hawaiian name for this wind is ‘Ulalena. It is the name of the most amazing stage production to come from Hawai’i in decades. |
|
The power of this production is that it is both universal and intimate. It is born from a mythology populated by beings larger than life representing a natural landscape alive with volcanoes, vast oceans and primeval rainforests. The story begins with the mythical creation of the islands and rolls through successive waves of voyagers who have found their way to these shores. From the first Polynesians to the early European explorers; and finally to us… |

In 1997 Roy Tokujo had the desire and the opportunity to fulfill a dream. He formed an entity known as Lahaina Myth and Magic Theatre, LLC. After a search for the complementary production company ARRA Montreal his vision transformed into ‘Ulalena. First a dozen or so Kupuna and Hawaiian Culture scholars were brought together to teach the production company and creative staff the true Hawaiian way of life, the historical culture and how life and nature was formed and came to be in its modern day existence. The opening of this magnificent 680 seat theatre on July 21st, 1999 brought a new cultural dimension to the islands. Every seat maintains a sense of intimacy and interaction with the performance. Traditional theatre is blended with acrobatic feats of strength and beauty. Hula is combined with modern dance. Rich costumes, lighting and stage design are woven together into a filigree of fantastic images drawn from |

Hawaiian legend and history. Ulalena explores relationships between people, nature and mythology. The use of metaphors integrates Hawaiian chants and dances, original music and choreography, lighting and projections to support the talents of unique performers. This year we are enthusiastic about celebrating our 12th year anniversary. Our Mission: ‘Ulalena will foster and retain the most talented and culturally sensitive team in Hawai’i’s entertainment industry, expressing the story of Hawai’i’s people to the world in a way that speaks to the imagination and inspiration of the human spirit, while keeping the culture alive in their hearts and within the community. |

Ingredients(cured salmon):
|
|
Preparation:Place fish into a small bowl or pan. Submerge fish with all the ingredients and refrigerate for two days with a weight on it. Turn the fish after each day. The fish can be marinated for up to four days but not longer. Congratulations you have just cured your own fish! Cured fish can be removed from the marinade and kept refrigerated for up to two weeks. |
|
Ingredients (Ahi Parfait):
Slice the Ahi into six thin sheets and place one on each piece of plastic wrap. Next, cut cured fish into small cubes and place in food processor. Grind to a paste, and then begin adding the heavy cream until a fluffy “parfait” or mousse is formed. You must be careful not to over whip the cream or it will break down and become gritty. Next, spoon equal amounts of the mousse on each piece of Ahi. Then pick up the plastic and hold it in the palm of your hand in a cup fashion. Draw the four corners of the plastic together with your other hand and twist to form a closed ball. You should have an airtight Parfait formed. Repeat the process with other fish and chill in refrigerator for one hour or until needed. In the meantime you can prepare the Lilikoi salad dressing... |
