Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating journey into the heart of ancient Hawaiian culture through the lens of the hula, a sacred dance form far removed from its modern perception. The author unveils the hula as a sophisticated religious and artistic expression, interwoven with mythology, poetry, music, and dance. Delving into the intricate details of the hula tradition, the book explores the construction and consecration of the halau (dance hall) and the kuahu (altar), revealing the deep reverence for the goddess Laka, the hula's patron deity. It sheds light on the rigorous training and organization of hula troupes, highlighting the distinct roles of the olapa (agile dancers) and hoopaa (steadfast musicians). Through vivid descriptions and translations of ancient chants and prayers, the author illuminates the spiritual and emotional depth of the hula. The songs express a range of human experiences, from love and joy to ambition and jealousy, offering a window into the intimate lives and beliefs of the Hawaiian people. Ultimately, this book challenges modern misconceptions and restores the hula to its rightful place as a complex and profound cultural treasure. It allows us to appreciate the artistry and spirituality of a bygone era, reminding us of the universal human desire to connect with the divine through creative expression.
