Tales of the Maya Skies at The Hōkūlani Imaginarium

October 14, 8:15pm - 9:15pm
Windward Campus, The Hōkūlani Imaginarium

Tales of the Maya Skies immerses Hōkūlani Imaginarium audiences in the world of the ancient Maya — a culture connected to the Universe through science, art and mythology. Rendered with the power of full-dome digital technology and three-dimensional graphics, this show recreates the splendor of Maya architecture and astronomy. Grammy Award winner and Oscar nominee Lila Downs narrates the magnificent journey through Maya cities and temples aligned to the movements of the Sun, Moon and planets. Rediscover the treasures of this advanced civilization whose sophisticated mathematics predicted eclipses, forecast seasonal change and formulated a calendar of extraordinary precision. Tales of the Maya Skies will transport you back to the beauty of Chichen Itza, Mexico, the “seventh wonder of the modern world.”
