SHOW 7:30-9:15pm "The Floating Kingdom" — Mythobardic Storytelling
Wandering bards Mica Sun and Samara Jade bring a uniquely original (and yet ancient and familiar) weaving of oral storytelling and finely crafted song in “The Floating Kingdom,” a musical, artistic tale of reflection, journey and return.
"An old king, with hairs of white, steps through a magical doorway to recover the pieces of the Firebird — a splendid yet enigmatic being who holds the keys to his freedom – and his heart."
The central 50-minute, all-ages show dances between acting, storytelling, music, and voice, with reflections on freedom, grief, friendship, aging, patriarchy, the initiatory journey, and the destruction and repair of our world.
Braiding theatrical, traditional storytelling performance with live instrumentation, puppetry, and community song, this symbolic tale for our times is guaranteed to delight and entertain, entrancing the mind while stirring the waters of the soul.
SUGGESTED DONATION: $10-$20 • no one turned away • kids free!
POTLUCK @ 6:30:
Visitors are welcome to join us for the potluck and grillout beforehand. Potluck starts at 6:30 and will be at the outdoor Pavilion near the Council Hall. Guests are invited to bring a dish to share and/or cash money to pay for items from the grill (like burgers, brats, etc).
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
From Asheville
Plan one full hour driving time from Asheville. Take I-40 East. Take exit 73 at Old Fort. Head South (take a right) on Bat Cave Road for 8.5 miles. Take a left on Camp Elliott Road. Go about a mile down Camp Elliott Road, past Asheville Academy School. After the school, please reduce your speed to 15 mph. You will come to the end of the pavement, where the road forks, with Full Circle Trail on the right, and Another Way straight ahead through an open metal gate. Proceed through this gate, and you are at Earthaven. The Earthaven speed limit is 5 mph. Please drive as slowly as you can - we’ve got lots of kids here! Cross one bridge and look for parking on the right and left before you reach the next stream.
The Council Hall is on your right as you drive in, past the first bridge. It’s a large, circular building. Walk up the hill from the parking area.
