Persephone entered Hades and the world went dark. Winter was born.

Follow Persephone's footsteps and join us as we welcome the Darkness in this All Hallows Eve ritual performance event. An ancient ferryman, a maze of roots... However you arrive, the veil grows thin and the spirits will play.

PERSEPHONE’S ROOTS is a unique Halloween event.  The audience will follow the performers through a series of site-specific performance installations, with an option to participate in the action on various levels.  The event will culminate in a ritual fire-based performance involving giant puppets and masked creatures.  Finally, we will share celebratory food and drink.
