In the mysterious culture of the South Pacific, where gods govern and rule nature, oral tradition is strong and is an integral part of the past, present and future. The Magic of Tahiti carries on the oral tradition while narrating traditional Tahitian legends through dance, physical theater, juggling, fire dancing, drums, puppetry and more.

Narrating the legend of Maui, a hero in Polynesian mythology who fought for a better life for humans, The Magic of Tahiti takes the audience through Maui’s life and his key battles for humans, including how he managed to lengthen days after a dispute with the Sun, the legend of the princess Tiare Apetahi and his encounter with Pele, the goddess of fire, and how he brought the gift of fire to earth. Let the magic of South Pacific cast its spell on you as The Magic of Tahiti.
