Description
Saturday April 11 12 noon, in the field
We invite you to join us in a participatory pageant as we recreate and reimagine ancient spring rituals to honor and bless the sun, the animals, plants, and earth that sustain us. Through song and silence, movement and stillness, we will ban everything bad and welcome in the spring. We’ll sing powerful and beautiful traditional Eastern European songs to call in the birds and the spring. We will end with a celebratory picnic of sourdough crepes, round and yellow like the sun. Join us as we enact a ritual of beauty and hope in defiance of the cold and bloodthirsty logic of the ruling class and the bleakness of the current moment!
We invite audience to come in costume:
as bears for a protective circle dance, (Romanian tradition)
OR* to wear red, to call on the power of the sun (Slavic tradition)
Musical instruments, especially bells and whistles, welcome.
The event will take place in the circus field. Expect snow, rain, and mud and dress accordingly! In case of extreme weather, we will hold it in the Dirt Floor Cathedral.
