About this Event

Celebrating the first day of May and the festival of Beltane, Ritual Rhythms presents an extravaganza of live music, flow and circus arts, and dance with a touch of madness. Featuring the husband and wife folk duo K-Nein, modern clown Skirt Vonnegut, contortionist CanDeStroy, bellydancer Indica Moon, flow artists Dani Danger and Emma Lucia, and burlesque acrobat duo Ramona Romance and Rotten Kore, we will explore themes of resistance and freedom, associated with the activism of May Day.
