VENUES AND PERFORMANCE
The Wilding revisits Shangri-La’s immersive venues and theatrical experiences of years gone by, and the very special wonderment, awe and real life joy that comes from being open hearted, and saying yes to the unexpected.
Join the daily procession on its journey through the field; an experience like no other, led by Boss Morris, a renegade Morris side described as ‘wild, colourful, vibrant, urgent, and entirely relevant to the times we live’.
Other performances include The Lorefire, by Tootles and Nibs - a traveling campfire and costumed procession, with an interactive musical introduction that mixes traditional folk music with electronic beats, as ancient and modern folktales are told around the fire and the community leads the story.
Choose the right path and you’ll discover Realm, a theatrical experience where the guardians of the hostile will be your guide to forgotten folklore characters and the magical kinetic sculptures of William Darrell await you.
Elsewhere, Sonic Bloom, a partnership between Kaye Dunnings, Sounds Right and Edible Bus Stop, is a secret space, where you can come and sit with the music of Mother Nature. After all, 4.6 billion years ago, a star was born, isn’t it about time we listened to her?
The Rhizosphere, by Bailes + Light, is a venue with workshops that focuses on the ecological relationships in soil and human relationships to land, and in the Hope Garden, by Adele Perrot cartoonish animation meets and melts into reality. can write about the Gallery here…
