Perfect Home for Entertaining, "The House of the Living Tarot"

Driving along the Pali Hwy. as you leave downtown Honolulu on your drive to the Windward side of the island, one may notice a for sale sign on a property along the way. An interesting house sits on the large lot of over 24,000 sq.ft. resembling in style something from a turn of the century New England. By appearance, the house looks abandoned but Artistic Director, Cheryl Flaherty of the renowned Iona Dance and Theatre Company has breathed a new life into it using it as an artistic setting for her latest Salon Series production, "The House of the Living Tarot."

Each room of the home has been staged for one of 10 characters of the Major Archana of the Tarot deck. For those unfamiliar with the Tarot, it is best known for ages as a fortune telling card. Each of the Iona Dancers will present an interpretive piece according to the archetype they have been selected to portray. According to Cheryl, the dancers were matched with archetypes they were selected to perform based on their personalities and life experience. "My dancers are so talented and strong. And I know them so well that I have been able to match them with their cards beautifully."

If you are fortunate enough to have a ticket to experience the performance, you will be dealt a hand of 10 cards upon your arrival. Each person attending will have the same 10 cards but in different order. According to the order you were dealt, you will proceed through the rooms of the house to interact and enjoy the individual performances. According to Flaherty, "You may have a couple of cards (in common) with the person that you've attended with. But this is a journey of the self."

So if you are looking for something extraordinary to do on the island of Oahu, consider meeting the archetypes including the Magician, The Lovers, The High Priestess and others.
