Tales of the Transcestors: The Divine

December 2024 - Greenway Arts Alliance

Through three interwoven stories rooted in Native Hawaiian tradition (Kapaemahu), Islamic mysticism (djinn), and spiritual alchemy (the Rebis), this world premiere reimagines folklore, mythologies, and spiritual guides across time and cultures. Tales of the Transcestors: The Divine captures the tension between inherited memory and lived experience, building a portal for audiences to enter a "world between worlds"—where lineage, desire, time, and space are fluid and ever-shifting.
