The MACC will be collecting donations for the Maui Food Bank during this event. We ask that our patrons bring needed items for those impacted by the wildfires. Donation bins will be located near the MACC's main entry gates.
Nothing Micro about Micronesia is a play that is a coming of age story about two Micronesian boys who encounter an unlikely place after a series of conflicts between them. They must navigate between the directions from elders and the government systems who have had an impact on their current lives and states of being/belonging. Join these friends as they take us through their lenses of island life in Micronesia while facing the rising tides of their transitioning ages, complicated family matters, new findings about the world and themselves, and uncertain futures.
The play is presented by TeAda Productions, a nomadic theater of color rooted in the stories of immigrants and refugees. The company is committed to healing and honoring the lives of the displaced, exploited and overlooked.
Nothing Micro about Micronesia is an expansion of TeAda’s current touring show
Masters of the Currents, which was performed at the MACC in 2018. It was created by Leilani Chan & Ova Saopeng, with Cultural Navigator Innocenta Sound-Kikku and contributions from numerous multi-generational Micronesian community members in Hawaiʻi.
Nothing Micro came about as a result of
Masters of Currents’ successful international tours and community engagement activities.
Like Masters of the Currents, this new work combines community based story collection and social justice practices with devised ensemble techniques to create a theatrical performance built with the involvement of the Micronesian community.
This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
