One Whale's Tale

One Whale’s Tale is a multidisciplinary production company that creates, fosters, and generates new independent work with an appreciation for magic and the preservation of culture. Our vision establishes a holistic approach to our annual programming which involves our audience and community from creation to performance, giving them full access and a deeper connection to our work and resources.

We create work that organically and authentically reflects the experiences of immigrants, first-generation Americans, and people of color by creating space for them to tell their own stories. We are guided by Magical Urbanism, an aesthetic we’ve developed, which examines how the ancient traditions of our company members and collaborators exist within a modern urban landscape. Our performances are inspired by cultural festivals and ceremonies which incorporate live music, food, + participatory elements for the audience. We create dialogues within the communities we work in. We have partnered with organizations such as Lincoln Center, The Shed, the TEAM, The Bushwick Starr, The People’s Garden, Gowanus Dredgers, the Street Vendor Project, Tecuanes Quetzalcoátl, Make the Road NY, Hunter College Theatre Department, Maraca Bruja, Rehabilitation Through the Arts, After Incarceration, Art + Resistance Through Education, Solo Homies Car Club, + the Federation of Cypriot American Organizations.
