Tales of the Sun and Moon

About this event

No matter where or when you live, all people look at the same sun and the same moon and every culture has their own tale about the heavens. This show from Honolulu Theatre for Youth features celestial myths and legends from cultures around the world, including Hawai‘i. Told through language, movement and music these are stories to connect us all. "While the stories included in this play are all about the Sun and the Moon, they are also a window into the beautifully unique cultures that they represent and the different ways we all see and interpret the world. The play includes a selection of stories from Hawaiʻi and around the world, including a little bit of science, pop culture, and a fantastical journey with the Story Keepers. I hope the performance activates young audiences with the charge that we must all be keepers of the stories, and that telling our stories is a way to shine a light for generations to come." - Playwright Reiko Ho
