Why watch Cirque du Soleil's 'Auana: Honolulu image 1

Performer balancing on one hand against a vibrant sunset backdrop, Cirque du Soleil Auana.

Cirque du Soleil debuts its first-ever resident show in Hawaii, created in collaboration with cultural creative producer Dr. Aaron J. Salā, blending traditional Hawaiian language, song, and hula with circus theatrics. From the epic tale of Polynesian migration to the spiritual connection with the land, 'Auana weaves together sacred mo'olelo (stories) of the islands. Explore the rich heritage of the Aloha states with mythical legends like that of the mysterious Māmala, told through mesmerizing acts. Watch the incredible artistry of foot jugglers, aerial hoop artists performing homage to Hina (goddess of the moon), and a Rola Bola act celebrating Hawaii's surfing heritage.

The Story

As he explores the 8 chapters, tracing the heritage of the island paradise, he reconnects with his roots, finding the joy in community. Inspired by the meaning of the word 'Auana (to wander), the show carries the adventurous spirit of a traveller.
