Event Description
This original production introduces audiences to the Native Hawaiian relationships with pa'akai (salt). Traditionally, pa'akai is food, medicine, a sacrament and a treasured gift. The play follows a family with multiple generations of salt farmers on Kauai, mixing in ancient stories, hula, live music, original songs and plenty of audience participation into a tasty potluck of performance, joyously served up with aloha.
