Sembrando Herencia 2016 - Borinki Soy!
by Puerto Rican Folkloric Dance & Cultural Center

Aug. 22 - Sep. 01 (2016)

Puerto Rican Folkloric Dance 14th theatre production will combine live music, dance, and community theater, to bring awareness of often-forgotten elements from Puerto Rico's rich history and heritage. 

This year we share the story of the Boricua Migration to Hawaii in 1900. This play will honor the brave men, women and children who went in search of a better life after Hurricane San Ciriaco devastated our Island in 1899. 

Original script by Tekina-eirú Maynard
