Kumu Kahua Artistic Director Harry Wong III

        "Abel Coelho has staged another idiosyncratic and bold theatrical piece
        drawing equally on Theatre and Dance techniques that is worth your time
        and support. This is 'We Take,' which amalgamates Western classical music
        and Butoh-like gestures and tempo/rhythms. It's being staged as part of
        Kumu Kahua's Dark Night Series and the remaining performances are on
        Sunday, Monday and Wednesday of next week, April 6, 7 and 9. At Kumu Kahua
        downtown, 46 Merchant Street, 8 pm, $5.
   
        "This shows artistic initiative and enterprise and is a true E-W fusion
        piece. The cast are nearly all UH students and all work as an effective,
        focussed ensemble."
