A gigantic ARCH transmitter of a good thought broadcasts to the galaxy’s edge, where six peaceful Yogis hear the Wizard’s plea.

The planet is trembling from the loss of The Great Storygatherer. The people have forgotten how to lay their own stories to rest. And so the discontent builds, blocking people’s hearts. St. Louis artists expose their alter-egos and super POWERS so that these changes make us LIGHT.

“May These Changes Make Us Light – Winter Show Collaborative” is a multimedia performance that uses dance, music and sculpture to amuse the adventure within us. As the backdrop, VJ Evil Che, Mike Pagano, will project live-video narrations on a 10-foot-tall, inflatable plastic dome — and lead the audience through a tale that blends the real and fantastical.

MYTHICAL CHARACTERS PLAYED BY:

The Fireflies — St. Louis’ only acrobatic yoga troupe. The crowd-pleasing pairs stretch the limits of aerial poses. They are featured in the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch’s article "Feels
Like Flying" on 09.24.07.

Gravity Plays Favorites — a sassy, captivating acrobatic duo that performs powerful aerial routines using only a standing pole. Performing at summer concert series to TV programs, the dancers travel nationally about twice a week.

Amazonia Belly Dancing – an electrifying group that performs the ancient dance of the body’s life force — the belly, while also incorporating innovative tools from modern dance and fire spinning.

MUSIC:

FIRE DOG — This local power trio serves up a playful attack of soul and surf, fresh and electric. The FIRE DOG anthem, “2004,” is the show’s theme. The group toured the Western United States last fall, playing over 30 shows in two months.

Celia’s Yuletide Express — This cheerful group of about 20 vocalists and sleighbell-ists, accompanied by a live rockin swing band, spreads “glad tidings of great joy” to all people, appearing at charity events and holiday parties in the bleak mid-winter.

A St. Louis quartet specializing in African and Middle Eastern drumming will provide the percussion and ambient sound.

ADDED SURPRISES:

Multiple accomplished local artists, such as Lyndsey Scott and Emily Heymeyer have added pieces to the costumes, music, dance or story.

We are a mesh of figures impossibly and perfectly formed –– exalting and exuding light as one. The wild formations stretch the hearts and minds of all those who experience it. Please contact Rebecca Rivas at 314-537-9861 or rebeccasrivas@gmail.com for more information.
