"All the sights and sounds of history are caught forever in the wind at the time they happen. They are printed in the wind like a big digital recording then they blow away."
Four campers are not only lost in the wood, they are lost at the edge of the world with no land, water, stars or sun. The only way to bring life back is to ask the right questions that will release stories from the wind. These stories come from all over: China, Africa, Native lore, and the Aztecs. Do you know the Myth of the Water Dragons? Or The Girl who Scattered the Stars? Perhaps you are at the edge of the world too...
Excellent opportunities for mask and movement. A unique cross-curricular storytelling adventure.
