the story of "Kairu"


Sol y Luna and the creation process of KAIRU


The art work being created is a collective of talented dancers with extremely diverse areas of training (i.e. modern, break-dance, martial arts, ice skating) who create a powerful fusion of creative movement, modern dance, ballet, martial arts, Hip-Hop, and daring acrobatics. We are pushing the boundaries of physicality and raising the bar in the difficulty level for dancers while striving to maintain the highest level of artistic vision.


We have and amazing story to tell and dynamic choreography to show. We are dedicating long hours of rehearsals on movement concepts, developing our theatrical skills, and training profusely on our acrobatic talents.


Our costumes and music are planned to portrait a distant universe and our movement is set to captivate all ages. Our goal is to take people away to an entire new world and inspire audiences of all ages, by mixing different styles of dance creating one entire art form of movement.


KAIRU, the History behind the legend- who is Kairu, and where did the story come from?


legend one


Ancient folklore has it that when a person does not face or meet their worst fears, those fears are

past on from one generation to the next, and so on and on, until someone along the line stand up to face and overcomes it. If not faced that malice will continue until the blood line is destroyed by it.


legend two


Warriors in the past once believed that the more lives they claimed and souls they collected would make them more powerful and invincible, hoping to become greater than the gods.


KAIRU was born from this two legends. Making his story and instant hit and total attraction. With

amazement in Asian folklore and research, I have created my own story of a warrior named KAIRU who’s dark past lust for power and blood create an evil versus evil story. Here a dark conscious takes physical form and comes to claim the life of it’s creator and it is up to KAIRU to decide how the story will end.


Battles are done, characters are shaped, vows are made and broken in order to save the life’s of others and love creating an unforgettable tale and an instant legend.


The Message Behind KAIRU


Through spoken word and choreography positive messages are delivered to the audience. The production and it’s Asian influences delivers messages as the audiences sees the out come of unnecessary violence, the strong sense of belonging, and the hard decision one must make for a higher understanding of life.


All the choreography will be a mix of ancient martial arts, modern dance, and acrobatics including a script narration during the performance to captivate the audience. With a unique and self created folklore, inspiring music, and amazing costuming this show promises to enchant audiences of all ages and present something completely new.


KAIRU has been written and created by Houston’s own Reyie Delgado. Working as Choreographer and artistic director Reyie has gathered some of Houston’s best dancers and up and coming talent to volunteer for the project. With assistant director Ashley Horn and Sol y Luna’s dance managers Shanon Adams and Mark Medina, KAIRU has stayed together and slowly becoming real. With a small budget, dedicated dancers, guidance and support from experienced directors like Rebeka

French, Stacey Wales, and Jane Weiner, Sol y Luna promises KAIRU will leave everyone with their mouths open and inspire people of all ages. So get ready to cheer for the bad guy!!!
