‘Migrations’ cultural journey in Maui
A new cultural live show is gearing up to premier at Maui Ocean Center.
‘Migrations’ debuts on August 1 at Seascape, featuring an international-themed buffet followed by a multicultural dance performance.
Migrations predominantly highlights cultures that have settled in the Hawaiian Islands with dances ranging from traditional Polynesian to Asian, Mexican and European influences. Each dance showcases creativity from the cultures that make Hawaii the melting pot of the Pacific.
“This show has been over 10 years in the making and was created to celebrate the diverse cultures that I grew up with, and that reflect my own mixed heritage,” said Keoni Manuel, who serves as the show’s co-producer, performer (both as a musician and dancer), choreographer and costume designer.
“We’ve created a show that uses traditional dance to take guests through the stories of the generations of people who make Hawaii what it is today.”
The evening starts with a buffet dinner overlooking scenic Māʻalaea Harbor. The menu includes signature dishes from various countries showcased during the dance performances, including poke, sushi, Molokaʻi sweet potato salad, pork enchiladas and island-inspired desserts.
“With the invitation to present our production at Seascape came the challenge to weave the story of Māʻalaea into the show,” Manuel said.
“We hope guests not only walk away entertained but with a newfound appreciation of Hawaiʻi’s unique multicultural history.”
Tickets for “Migrations” are on sale for the Wednesday or Friday evening performances at mauioceancenter.com.
