Ancient Ireland is a mesmerizing world haunted by elemental powers and dragons, gatekeepers to other worlds and guardians of universal treasures. In Dragon & the Night Queen: Celtic Stories, Donna and Hannah forge a new telling of ancient Irish legends with live music by Gerry Rempel Ensemble and internationally-renowned Irish musician Eliot Grasso. New choreography, drama, and live songcraft capture the rich myths of Morgan le Fay (sea goddess of the legends of Avalon), the Night Queen Rhiannon, the Morrigan, and the Dragon King. Anchored in the medieval, Dragon & the Night Queen promises a bonny, defiant new ballet—a vivid exploration of new borders, filled with riotous spirit.
