EDIBLE TALES: Community events

Ho`oulu: To grow

Edible Tales is a combination of performance and community engagement programs, currently touring throughout NYC and on-tour! The immersive performance explores cultural heritage, social justice and environmental sustainability. The performance took 3.5 years to create, in both NYC and Hawaiʻi, centering community engagement, land stewardship, and intergenerational storytelling as our research and creative process. From the pre-show activities to a dance party with the audience on stage, we’ve arrived at a spiritual experience that inspires the connections that heal and unify us.

Participants have experienced Edible Tales programs as food tours in Brooklyn, NYC, as land stewardship and cultural immersion events on Oʻahu, residency programs in schools, and as performances in community gardens and in theaters. The next phase of Edible Tales focuses on Hoʻoulu - growing in community, which means touring in Hawaiʻi, United States, and abroad, and expanding our community program offerings with organizational partners.

All our events are appropriate for all ages so feel free to bring the entire ʻohana.
