Lions and Legends: Folktales and Foodlore

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Little Island, *Lions and Legends: Folktales and Foodlore* stages an evening of storytelling that tracks how myths travel alongside recipes, rituals, and appetite. Featured performers Justin Vivian Bond, Tama Gucci, Nita Aviance, Anthony Roth Costanzo, and Qween Jean move between spoken tale, song, and persona, treating food as an archive of migration and memory. Little Island’s programming places it in a New York lineage where folktale is live art, not children’s fare. The sharpest choice is its refusal to separate nourishment from power.
