RECALLING HAWAI'I is a heartfelt hula theatre chronicle awakening the past, revealing the present and the future of Hawai'i through imagery, music and dance. ‘Living Treasure’- Roselle (Keli'ihonipua Lindsey) Bailey- directs the diverse cast of 50 performers of all ages, including dancers, chanters, musicians and actors. In a Hawaii Public Radio 'Conversation' with Chris Vandercook before the Hilo show last year, she spoke of the appropriate timing of this show's beginnings in Germany four years ago. She said, "it is time to face our history with joy and understanding...of our environment...go back to who we really are, with pride in our hearts".
