An event featuring and evening of new music, poetry, and artwork inspired by the theme of "Tanabata". This ancient Japanese legend is the story of 2 stars which are personified by a weaver princess and a shepard. Their love is so consuming that they forget their responsibilities and the king of heaven must force them apart. The king grants them one evening a year when they may meet and be together. The evening is an evening of celebration and passion, but when morning comes the two stars begin their journey apart.
