Arcana

Join us for a special preview of Arcana - a magical, musical journey, exploring the courage to truly listen to yourself and celebrating the freedom in becoming who you are. 

In this immersive experience, we follow Arcana - an apprentice court composer trapped in a world of fear and obligation, whose quest for a music by all becomes a search for her origins and a call for freedom. 

Blending Western classical music with musical traditions from West and Central Africa, the show combines spellbinding violin, rich soundscapes, striking visuals, movement, and multilingual storytelling to create a total work of art. 

At its core, Arcana is about believing in our inner voice, self-expression, and connecting to our sense of freedom to create positive changes for yourself and your environment. This vibrant, cross-cultural experience invites everyone into a space of reflection, wonder, and shared humanity. 

Suitable for ages 10+, this is a coming of age story which will inspire young audiences. 

Please note that this show is a preview ahead of its’ main premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The artist will ask audiences to leave feedback after this show.
