Show: Down That Trail in the Woods – Kizis
Presented in collaboration with Danse-Cité, Down That Trail in the Woodsis a wildly imaginative musical where theatre, dance, and live music intertwine. Under the direction of Kìzis, 18 performers carry a new story forward, passing through love, loss, and the traces that endure.
Within a sentient forest an unexpected bond forms between Boy, a young human looking for direction, and Horse, a creature who appears to move with confidence and charm. Weesay, a forest god inspired by Indigenous cosmology, interferes, mentors and provokes in equal measure. Farmer, guardian of tradition, attempts to restore order in a sideways spinning world where love defies the laws of nature.
The piece honours land and the unseen forces within it. A vibrant tribute to the cycles of the world, to ancient magic, and to the dance and theatre that dare to stretch bodies, conventions, and the limits of reality.
