CANCELED: Family Fun Fest – Baobab

We regret to share that this performance has been canceled. We are currently arranging a new First Friday performance for May 1, and details will be announced soon. Thank you for your understanding!

The djembe drums dance and the ngoni’s strings sing as the griots tell a tale passed down from generation to generation. Long ago, when the stars were still babies, the trees and animals talked, and a water-stealing sun burned overhead, a baobab tree bore an unexpected and unusual gift. Featuring music from Mali and Senegal, puppets large and small, one naughty monkey, and a witch with an itch to dance, Baobab is a percussion-filled fable about a boy’s heroic quest to save his village from drought. FREE
