La MaMa Moves! Festival to Present EDIBLE TALES: HO'OULU by Dancers Unlimited

La Mama Experimental Theatre Club will present Edible Tales: Ho'oulu by Dancers Unlimited as part of the 21st annual La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival. Performances are April 25 at 7pm and April 26 at 2pm at the Ellen Stewart Theatre, 66 E. 4th Street.

Edible Tales explores cultural heritage, social justice and environmental sustainability through food-related topics. Through community engagement and performance, we explore how food connects us to our ancestors as rituals, cultural identity, and our relationship with the land.

Equal part performance and community engagement, our creative process is collaborative with the general public and community leaders in food security, agriculture and indigenous cultural practitioners. By engaging with community members through immersive experiences, we are able to transform community stories into staged performances that deeply resonate with the audiences.

Pre-show lei-making starts 30 minutes before the performance. Audience members are invited to add to the forever community lei that will be on display during the show.

Tickets are $30 (general), $25 (students/seniors), with a $50 Support the Artists ticket option. Tickets are available here. Festival packages start at $45 and are available at https://ci.ovationtix.com/42/store/packages. Additionally, the first 10 tickets of each performance are $10 (limit 2 per person).
