This <abbr>LGBTQ+<\/abbr> retelling focuses on illogical notions of gender, oppression and freedom, and views American civilization&#8212;full of nonsensical rules&#8212;through the perspective of an idealistic queer boy.<\/p>\n<p>Originally titled <em>Alice\u2019s Adventures Underground<\/em> written by Oxford mathematician, fellow and teacher Charles Dodgson in 1862 and presented to his child muse Alice Liddell in 1864, <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em> is one of the most widely read, translated and beloved stories of all time. This campy <abbr>LGBTQ+<\/abbr> friendly adaptation of <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em>, written by Kinoshita, explores the most commonly cited theme of Carroll\u2019s original&#8212;the notion that Alice journeys to an adult world filled with irrational oppression, where rules cannot be explained. In <em>Alika in Wonderland<\/em>, Alika learns to embrace his identity and redefine his existence on his own terms.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Emmy Award-winning writer Susan Soon He Stanton, <em>the underneath<\/em> takes audiences on a dream journey through Honolulu. Elements of film noir, surprising characters and the use of memory and flashbacks feature heavily.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about theatre classes offered at Windward <abbr title=\"Community College\">CC<\/abbr>, contact Assistant Professor Nicolas Logue at (808) 236-9138, <a href=\"mailto:logue@hawaii.edu\">logue@hawaii.edu<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/windward.hawaii.edu\/programs-of-study\/theatre\/\">Windward <abbr>CC<\/abbr>\u2019s theatre website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Palik\u016b Theatre, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/palikutheatre.com\">palikutheatre.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/windward-alika-in-wonderland-1.jpg\" alt=\"Alika in Wonderland poster \/ the underneath banner\" width=\"676\" height=\"297\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-138935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/windward-alika-in-wonderland-1.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/windward-alika-in-wonderland-1-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/windward-alika-in-wonderland-1-130x57.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windward Community College presents a double bill of <abbr>LGBTQ+<\/abbr>-themed performances April 30 through May 9, 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[690,334,130,66],"class_list":["post-138951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","tag-lgbtq","tag-paliku-theatre","tag-theatre","tag-windward-community-college","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138951"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":139520,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138951\/revisions\/139520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
