Carnaval

A Nakai and Gwaandak co-production by Mitch Miyagawa.

Synopsis

Lucky Feet, a young silver miner, dreams of dancing in the Carnaval. All he has to do is make a deal with the King of the Underworld and stop his father's revolution, and his dream will come true. Carnaval: where tragedy is beautiful, and sadness is celebrated.

Carnaval is the result of an intensive collaborative process between physical performers, playwright, and director. The style of the play is based on the principle of making something from nothing. Performers use very simple props, lighting, and the possibilities of their own bodies to create an entire world.

Carnaval will take place outdoors at Raven Recycling - where better to make something from nothing.

Theatre site

Carnaval will be performed on an outdoor theatre stage eight times this May in the Raven Recycling yard!!! 100 Galena Road, Whitehorse, YT.
