STORY-CONCERT. "Kali Yuga Jive"
Skedaddle teamed up with Story-wizzard Iwan Kushka for this rambunctious rendition of an epic Indian tale in which two boys meet one girl and lose their hearts (and heads) in the process. An experience of rhapsodic scale, humour, and Eastern wisdom, interlaced with an up-beat jazzy musical score.
'Juxtaposing the two contrasting worlds of a gruesome traditional story from India and uplifting dance-inducing jazz music should not work. But it did work!
A lively, humour filled performance of a great story and wonderful music. The audience was ecstatic.' - John Roberts (Artistic director of PuppetCraft)
Come and spend the afternoon and/or evening in the woods, in the amazing outdoor venue that is ‘The Glade’ in Dartington near Totnes: a 2 min walk from Dartington church leads you into the beautiful Northwoods where you’ll come across a fully equipped performance venue with benches and stage, overhanging parachutes to stay dry, campfire and bar area. All areas have roofs, so that the event can take place even if it rains. What's nicer than sitting by a fire with food and drinks, while listening to the concert of the rain falling on the leaves?
A full day program:
2 kids shows in the afternoon. Come to one or both. (£5)
