Rain Weaver - A gripping folk music theatre play about the meaning of home.
Thursday, August 1, 2024 -- Saturday, August 3, 2024, 1900 - 2010
"When the storms cleared, the people were gone.
Nothing was left but heat and...
One mountain, one last place where the rain survived."
When the sand came, the kingdoms fell. Now, there is only one village left where there is still rain. Legends speak of gods and spirits who keep the thirst at bay. But hidden away, it is Rain Weaver Oo using her ancient craft to provide. When lies come to light, Oo faces a world full of scavengers and moving towns, desperate for her skills. How much of this need can one single person fill, and at what cost to herself?
Embark with Oo on this riveting, defiant journey.
Through theatre, movement and song, RAIN WEAVER transports our lived experiences as an international collaboration into a fantastical, dystopian world.
