Makali'i: The Rising Star Of The Pacific (21 and over)

OVERVIEW

Watch a mesmerizing Polynesian show that celebrates the heritage and spirit of Hawaii and meet with the performers afterwards. Once you settle into your seat at Da Playground with a welcome mai tai cocktail in hand, Maui’s only indoor cultural revue will begin dramatically and never let up. This authentic experience will bring the legendary stories of the Pacific to life like never before through graceful dances, thundering Tahitian drums, Maori war chants and stunning visual effects. The show’s title refers to the star cluster Pleiades – known as Makali’i in Hawaii – which symbolizes Makahiki, the start of a new year of peace and rejuvenation. The story behind Makali’i is one of good triumphing over evil. This stirring, inspirational performance will leave you in awe with a greater appreciation, knowledge and respect for the Polynesian culture. Feel free to mingle with the performers after the show as they will be happy to answer your questions. Authentic Hawaiian crafters will also have artisanal handmade products for sale.
