HAWAII’S NEWEST SHOW COMBINES
MODERN-DAY ‘CIRQUE’ WITH PACIFIC-RIM INFLUENCE
Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa Unveils
‘Cirque Polynesia’ – Tuesday, June 2 at Ka’anapali
Ka’anapali, HI, May 15, 2009 – Cirque Polynesia is Hawaii’s newest and only dedicated “cirque” production that includes some of the world’s most acclaimed cirque performers at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa Monarchy Ballroom.
The 75-minute show features back-to-back performances that offer power, grace and sophistication, including sixth- and seventh-generation family members of the legendary Wallenda family. A modern-day aerial act, known as the “perch,” involves daughter Lyric hanging by one ankle while twirling mother Reitta like a helicopter blade high above the audience.
“Cirque Polynesia is a unique evolution of the modern day Cirque-style shows,” explained Cornell “Tuffy” Nicholas, show producer, who also produced similar shows including Cirque at the Apollo, touring circuses and the Cirque Hawaii show that ran for three years at the Imax Theater on Oahu.
“It is an abstract, contemporary interpretation of the Cirque and Polynesian worlds coming together,” continued Nicholas. “A combination of artistry and human ability that provides an entertainment experience that is inspiring and moving.”
It is scheduled to run six nights a week with doors opening a half-hour prior to the 7 p.m. show.
“We’re all extremely excited about the opening of Cirque Polynesia to provide our guests, and everyone visiting Maui, a unique and memorable experience,” said Michael Jokovich, General Manager, Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa. “Our guests expect nothing but excellence which is why we chose Cirque Polynesia as the show to provide as their nightly entertainment option.”
