I LAND expands on the Hawaiian tradition of talk story, combining theater and dance, bringing dramatic narrative, comedy, hula, and hip-hop dance together to tell a unique and compelling story.  Inspire by, but departing from autobiography, I LAND is Keo's exploration of the intersections, collisions, and reverberations he has observed at the nexus of these cultures
