ʻELEAU: The Legend of Kahalaopuna

This year's hōʻike, ʻELEAU, follows the story of Kahalaopuna, the beautiful princess of Mānoa. From a young age she is betrothed to Kauhi, a dominant chief of Kailua, and sees it as her purpose to serve him. After rumors of her infidelity spreads throughout the island, Kauhi is consumed by anger and sets out for Kahalaopuna. Together with Mahana, Kahalaopuna must find a way to escape Kauhi's grasp. KSH senior Aleah Kay who portrays Princess Kahalaopuna, fellow senior Jason Aiwohi-Tomlin who plays Chief Kauhi, and other ‘Eleau production members showed that even during dark times, they were able to find a way to share a powerful piece of their Hawaiian culture with the community, demonstrating the ‘Ōiwi Edge that their campus is known for. The film is a KSH Senior Legacy project from the seniors in the performing arts pathway seminar. For more on the film and it's cast & crew, visit www.eleauthefilm.com.
