“Derailed”, performed by the University of Hawaii at Manoa Theatre & Dance Department’s Kyōgen Ensemble, blends kyōgen (a traditional Japanese comic form) and spirit with 21st-century socio-political reality in Hawaiʻi. Harkening back to the early satirical roots of kyōgen, in this “tale of the rail,” akamai local construction workers on O‘ahu try to outwit a clueless consultant and his ill-advised ideas about the planned Honolulu rail line, demonstrating the power of Hawaiian beliefs and the importance of protecting the ʻāina.
This free one-hour program is suitable for ages 18 and older.
