# Event Details - **Event Name**: THE EPIC TALE OF THE RAMAYANA - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-10:00) - **Event Description**: A Hawaii Theatre production in partnership with the Still & Moving Meditation Fellowship + Still & Moving Community Center Friday, November 6, 2026 · Pre-show talk 6:30 PM · Curtain 7:00 PM For nearly two decades, Still & Moving has marked Diwali, the Indian festival of lights, with a living retelling the world's oldest epic: the Ramayana. What began as a small community gathering — a story shared among students and teachers — has grown into a full theatrical production, drawing dozens of performers ranging in age from 5 to 85. This year, for the first time, that story steps onto one of the most storied stages in the Pacific: the Hawaiʻi Theatre. The Epic Tale of the Ramayana follows Prince Ram and Princess Sita, cast from their kingdom into exile, and the courage, loyalty, and love that carry them through it — including Sita's abduction by the ten-headed demon king Ravana, and her rescue by the troops Prince Ram and the devoted monkey-warrior Hanuman. At its heart, it's a story about the triumph of good over selfishness, light over darkness — the very themes Diwali itself celebrates. What makes this production distinct is who tells it. Rather than a single dance tradition, the Ramayana is carried across many: Bharatanatyam and other Indian classical dances, hula, aerial arts, belly dance, samba, Argentine tango, and Brazilian capoeira, all performed by Still & Moving's own community of teachers, students, and staff. Many performers are stepping into a dramatic role for the first time in their lives — carried by narration that lets them fully inhabit a character without needing to memorize a single line. The result is less a staged play than a communal offering: a room full of different backgrounds and disciplines, telling one universal story together. Bringing this beloved tradition to the Hawaiʻi Theatre — with its own century of history as a gathering place for Honolulu's arts and culture — marks a new chapter for Still & Moving Meditation Fellowship & Still & Moving Community Center, with an invitation for the wider community to witness and participate in this joyous annual celebration. Join us Friday, November 6, 2026, for a pre-show talk at 6:30 PM offering context on the story and its traditions, with curtain at 7:00 PM.
