The Polynesian Cultural Center's touring troupe will bring a little bit of Polynesia to the Utah Cultural Celebration Center on May 27.
"Ha: Breath of Life" is an epic production — featuring original musical compositions and choreography from New Zealand, Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti and Tonga — that took three years and $3 million to create.
The production follows the life of a man named Mana, focusing on different aspects of his life on the different islands of Polynesia.
The scaled-down Utah performance, which features nine dancers, a fireknife dancer, three musicians and an emcee, will take place on Thursday, May 27, 7 p.m., at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, 1355 W. 3100 South.
Admission is free.
