FIREBIRD
Tonight, our stage is a place where myth becomes magic, fairytales come to life and Indigenous traditions are honoured. At dawn, we witness awakening plants and animals and then at night, the powerful radiance of the exotic Firebird and feathers that glow in the dark. A mind-blowing musical immersion.
