About this Event

Earth Child is an epic new outdoor spectacle journey through time, the elements and the human spirit.


Created by ArtsEkta, Fidget Feet Aerial Dance and acclaimed artist Gráinne Holland to celebrate 20 years of Mela, the show tells the story of a child’s search for balance in a world unravelling — guided by ancient elemental tribes of Air, Water, Fire and Earth.

From the Celtic Morrigan’s winds of memory to the cosmic serpentine waters of the Hindu Ananta and the Chinese fire-born warriors of Zhurong, these forces unite in a ritual not of destruction — but of healing.

Blending aerial dance, global drumming, storytelling and live music, and fiery pyrotechnics, this outdoor spectacular features hundreds of performers in a story that speaks to our times — reminding us we are all connected.
