A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
2025-04-26 13:30 - 15:30 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Kauai Community College Performing Arts Center, 3-1901 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue, HI, 96766, United States
A Complete Unknown,” the biographical film about Bob Dylan, is nothing short of extraordinary. Beautifully crafted and executed, it transports you back in time, immersing you in the life, music, and story of one of the most influential artists of our time. The performances are simply exceptional. Timothée Chalamet, as Dylan, delivers a magnetic portrayal, capturing both the vulnerability and genius of the man. Not only him, but the entire cast-including Edward Norton and other pivotal characters-brings depth and nuance to their roles. Each actor seems perfectly chosen, breathing life into Dylan’s world and relationships. The music is the soul of this film, and it is masterfully performed. The songs are not just performed-they are interpreted with a heartfelt, raw beauty that resonates deeply. The renditions are authentic and emotionally stirring, blending seamlessly with the narrative. From “Blowin’ in the Wind” to “Like a Rolling Stone,” the music is a character of its own, weaving through the story with purpose and impact. The film’s structure is equally impressive, exploring not just Dylan’s music but also the historical and cultural shifts of his era. It’s as much a story of societal change as it is of Dylan’s artistic journey, showing how the two were intertwined. The attention to detail in recreating the time period-through costumes, settings, and the mood of each scene-is remarkable. Even though the runtime exceeds two hours, the film never feels slow or drawn out. The pacing is perfect, keeping you engaged from start to finish. Every scene adds layers to the story, and every performance and song feels essential.

TRADITIONAL ANCIENT JAPANESE TEA CEREMONY MAY 31
2025-05-31 10:30 - 13:30 | Lawai International Center, Omao, HI, United States
KALAHEO — The Lawai International Center will host a traditional ancient Japanese tea ceremony presented by the Urasenke Kaua’i Kyoukai Tea Association on Saturday, May 31 at 10:30 a.m., noon, and 1:30 p.m. in Kalaheo.
This rare event will be held in the center’s Hall of Compassion, a hand-carved replica of 13th-century architecture that was built by the hands and hearts of masters in Asia and volunteers on Kaua’i. As the tea ceremony members mature, this might be their last year to offer this experience.
There will be 25 seats available per session. Reservations are required. The suggested minimum donation is $40. For reservations, text or call (808) 639-5952 or email info@lawaicenter.org.
The Lawai International Center, a non-profit community project, is an archaeological and cultural treasure in a valley that has long been recognized as a healing sanctuary. In 1904, the first generation of Japanese immigrants built 88 shrines replicating an ancient pilgrimage of 88 temples in Shikoku, Japan. Today, the Center is the only such site existing outside of Japan and is one of the oldest Buddhist temple sites in the country.
Our mission remains steadfast — to preserve and nurture the land and its rich cultural heritage, extending a heartfelt invitation to all who wish to experience its essence through the spirit of compassion and aloha. For more information about the center visit www.lawaicenter.org.
