About this show
An absent father’s unexpected call turns one sleepless night into a journey through grief, faith, belonging and reconciliation. Performed by a striking international ensemble from across the Pacific and Asia, this world-premiere musical from Hawaii blends live vocals, athletic movement, Polynesian dance, haka, chant and powerful storytelling. As memories, ancestors, family and friendship collide, one young woman must decide what to hold onto, let go of, and whether connection is worth the risk. Heartfelt, visually dynamic and deeply human, Stay. explores relationships that shape us and connections that help us find our way home.
