We currently have two shows:
1.) Spirit of the Ren - The Lost Woods Dancers invite you to rest in their camp, where weary travelers are welcomed with lively dances and stories. Led by a quick-witted Camp Leader, enjoy a curious haven of characters, including the roguish Sybil, laundry-loving Lyra, and flower-obsessed Mira. But beware! This forest is home to a mysterious Water Jinniya (Spirit), who stirs up playful chaos and challenges the travelers to complete a series of tasks.
Enhanced by live Middle Eastern instruments, including the Arabic qanun and the Turkish darbuka, the Lost Woods Dancers blend humor, mystery, and MENAT (Middle East, North Africa, Turkey) dances in a captivating tale of magic and mischief. Suitable for all ages, this interactive performance invites festival-goers to step into a world of spirited adventure and morality.
