‘Ulalena is a must-see attraction when on Maui. In fact, you can only see ‘Ulalena on Maui! You’ll be swept away on the same journey as the Hawaiian people – from the creation of the islands to the early island explorers. You’ll visit volcanoes, vast oceans and primeval rainforests while meeting the Gods who rule each.
A family-friendly & award-winning show, ‘Ulalena blends traditional theatre with acrobatic feats of strength and beauty. Together, the rich costumes, lighting and stage effects transform the Maui Theatre into an intimate oasis. Expect to be mesmerized by ‘Ulalena from beginning to end.
Even Islanders who know nothing of Hawaiian mythology know of Pele.
She is the goddess with the eyes of fire and the hair of molten lava who causes volcanoes to erupt, a powerful and dangerous enemy who jealously guards her preserves. Woe to the one who picks berries on her land without offering her some first.
But Pele is also a wise crone who can befriend and assist humans who treat her properly. Islanders often see her in the guise of an old woman seeking a ride on a lonely stretch of road.
