How It All Began: Creation Myths from Around the World

Wild Words bring you the oldest stories known to humankind - from raging fire to freezing ice, the endless blue of sea and sky, scheming gods, greedy demons and generous giants. Storyteller Michael Loader will be spinning out these age-old tales while multi-talented instrumentalist Martin Solomon shapes the musical landscapes. With your help and a very random selection of eclectic objects we will create our own momentous myth, in the moment!
Meet the instruments in our pre-show participative Playshop and draw the mythical beasts that inhabit your imagination.A gorgeous jewel of a performance. I loved the way the whole piece hung together. The stories flowed and the music rang.
