CIRQUE HAWAII THEATER
A Thrilling, State of the art Circus” for Hawaii with 70 foot high aerial apparatus, artists will perform feats of daring beauty never seen before. Creating an exotic show of strength, balance, humor, beauty and grace, Cirque Hawaii combines state-of-the-art technical elements including sur-round, intelligent lighting and special effects, and a specially-produced music score. Guests will witness high-energy dance, acrobats, and amazing balancing acts along with comedians, contortionists, aerialists and more.
FIRST FRIDAYS ~ Chinatown, Honolulu
From 5 to 10 p.m. on the first Friday of each month, Chinatown (which extends east-west from River Street to Richard Street and north-south between Beretania and King streets) turns into an arty street party. Participating stores, galleries, performance spaces, restaurants, and bars literally leave their doors wide open for throngs of people who come to schmooze, socialize, see and be seen—and, of course, shop. Crowds spill out onto the streets and make the rounds, sipping free wine and scouting for designer home decor at Sourcing Asia and INTO, "recycled art by unknown talents" at Daspace on Smith Street, and "outsider art" at the Got Art? gallery on Nuuanu Avenue. Those wanting to buy contemporary but still-affordable Hawaiian artworks should stop by the Louis Pohl Gallery, and wine collectors shouldn't miss the HASR Wine Co., a funky little shop run by enthusiastic wine nerds with some surprising selections (perfect for BYOB meals in the 'hood).
