KAI HALI‘A (interactive media performance)

Ushering in a new wave of performance, film, and interactivity, Kai Hali‘a (Sea of Memory) is a semi-autobiographical short film, live cinematic experience, and multimedia installation. This work reconfigures the traditional and phallic concept of memory by exploring it from a sensual, queer, feminine, Kānaka ʻŌiwi, diasporic perspective. Seeing memory as an intricate ʻupena of both intangible and tangible threads of reality, intertwined with visceral feelings that intimately connect us with our kūpuna and the ʻāina, the act of remembering becomes our way back to our core. The performance integrates up to six different video channels, live dance, TouchDesigner interaction and animations, 8mm film, and projection mapping to create a deeply immersive and evocative experience.
