Light in the Darkness
“In winter, when the green earth is sleeping beneath a blanket of snow, this is the time for storytelling.” A magical evening embracing the wildness of winter with spine-tingling music and spell-binding wintery tales.
This show is for anyone who finds winter hard, and who finds the commercial juggernaut surrounding Christmas a bit overwhelming. It’s designed as an antidote to all that. re-connecting us to the rhythms of the natural world through stories and song, as we cycle through the darkness and back to the light once more. The show is aimed at grown-ups – although there’s nothing that’s unsuitable for children, it’s not designed for them. It will appeal most strongly to audiences who are already engaged with ideas around connecting to our environment and our communities.
