Midwinter Revels in December
I am thrilled to be playing bouzouki, guitar and singing in this year’s Midwinter Revels show, “The Selkie Girl and the Seal Woman"! It’s going to be a beautiful mix of Celtic and Cape Verdean music and dance to accompany the story…
In a small fishing village off the shores of Galway Bay, a community gathers in the local pub to celebrate the season. A child enters looking for a package that may have been delivered for his mother, who comes from another coastal town – in Cabo Verde. Songs and dances are shared, and the pub dissolves into a portal for fantasy with a transformative retelling of the Selkie story, a Celtic myth about living between two worlds. Irish songs, jigs, and reels share the stage with dance, drumming, and traditional songs from Cabo Verde. In the Revels tradition, new community is catalyzed, and with it hopes for a new year.
The performance length is about 2.5 hours, including intermission. All performances will take place at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, MA, but virtual passes will be available so folks can watch the show from anywhere. Live show tickets are available now, and virtual passes will go on sale soon.
