San Francisco-based Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu— features hula as a fully theatrical and visually captivating experience, thrilling audiences with a blend of traditional and contemporary forms of Hawaiian dance. The group's trademark hula mua style honors tradition while bringing hula into a modern realm, and performances are given in a "talk-story" format that incorporates narration to provide a rich cultural context in which to understand the hula. "The lasting aftereffect is something like having seen flowers that breathe and butterflies that think" (Los Angeles Times).
