Set in the fictional land of Loàga, The Tale of Ïoné is a fantastical reimagining of the Book of Jonah.

The odyssey of Ïonéhï, the “Miserable Messenger,” has been told by the people of Loàga for many centuries. It’s thrilling, frightful, outlandish, grave, wondrous... and it dances with history. In this one-man telling, a wandering son of Loàga wrestles with its portrait of mercy, questioning his own willingness to offer it... or accept it.
