The production’s universal message resonates with families and communities, offering a space to reflect on the importance of preserving personal histories and cherishing shared moments.

Created by award-winning choreographer Dominic Moore-Dunson and renowned composer Theron Brown, THE REMEMBER BALLOONS is more than a performance — it is an invitation for families to come together, share their stories and celebrate the bonds that endure across generations. Through the transformative power of the arts, this production provides an unforgettable experience that touches hearts and inspires conversations that matter.
