Tales of the Transcestors: The Divine
So excited to be directing this gorgeous production!
A Native Hawaiian storyteller uncovers the sacred history of four mahu healers who journeyed from Tahiti to Hawai'i. In the imaginal realm, a recently deceased human seeks the aid of a djinn to find their long-lost transcestor. A trans woman embarks on a quest with a spiritual alchemist, yearning to mend the disconnect between her body and soul.
Tales of the Transcestors: The Divine is a must-see World Premiere that reimagines folklore, mythologies, and spiritual guides across time and cultures. Through three interwoven stories rooted in Native Hawaiian tradition (Kapaemahu), Islamic mysticism (djinn), and spiritual alchemy (the Rebis), the production unearths personal and cultural histories to reclaim trans wisdom, healing, power, and joy. 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
