Tales of the Sun & Moon (National Touring)

Touring 2026-27 Season

The Show

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 world premiere show features celestial myths and legends from cultures around the world, including Hawai‘i, China, Korea, and more. Told through language, movement and music these are stories to connect us all.

Written and Directed by Artistic Associate  Reiko Ho, the production will premiere in Honolulu in late August 2025. It will have its first national tour in 2026-2027.

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 , China, Korea, and includes a foray into science, a bit of 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
