Peter Swanzy’s film “Nalu” will be screened at “Inspired by Nature.”

KIHEI – On Saturday, June 29, at 7:30 p.m., Ebb & Flow Arts will present “Inspired by Nature,” a multimedia show that includes four short films, a stage composition and dramatic readings.

The event will take place at ProArts Playhouse in Azeka Shopping Center at 1280 South Kihei Road.

“Ever since our production in 2005 of ‘Yellow Sound’ by Wassily Kandinsky, we enjoy the challenge of original stage composition,” said Robert Pollock, executive director of E&FA.

“On June 29, we will delve into the ancient yet timely myth ‘Echo and Narcissus.’ “

Featured films will include Carlin Ma’s “Unfolding Presence” (music by Danny Clay), Peter Swanzy’s “Nalu,” Dom Walczuk’s “East Wind” (music by Barry Truax) and Sandra Sprecher’s “Flash.”

Francis Kane will give a dramatic reading of Jean Giono’s “The Man Who Planted Trees” and poems by William S. Merwin. Kane recently performed “The Albatross” — a one-man show — at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center” to wide acclaim.

These films screened on Oahu and the Big Island earlier this season.

Francis Kane will give a dramatic reading of Jean Giono’s “The Man Who Planted Trees” as well as selected poems by William S. Merwin.

E&FA’s Multimedia Group – Tony Walholm, Paul Marchetti, Swanzy, Lisa Buell, Jamy Woodbury and Pollock – will perform an original stage composition based on Ovid’s “Echo and Narcissus.”
