Contemporary circus meets plant lore, from the forest of light to the garden of shadows

The Cabiri, Seattle’s storytelling aerial dance theater troupe, present Garden of Dreams April 16-26 at Arcadia in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.
The production explores plant lore across the ages, from plants that heal
and enliven to plants with the capacity to bring grave consequences to
those who encounter them. From the Slavic tale of Mati Syra Zemlya
(“moist mother earth”) to the joyous dance of the dryads in an idyllic
forest, and the terrifying concoction known in the Middle Ages as flying
ointment, plant lore in all its forms will appear in this full length,
original production. This dance theatre production will be accompanied by a score created by musician celadon, live vocalization by members of Dunava Balkan women’s choir, and special guests.

Tickets are now available at the General Admission ($30) or VIP ($50) levels via Brown Paper Tickets.
