Vulture Sister Song

With live storytelling and poetry, folk songs and electric lullabies, a migrating herd of creature-like lanterns, curious movement, and a healthy dose of humor, Vulture Sister Song brings together artists and community members to celebrate the possibilities of vibrant interdependence.

Join us for what one young audience member called, "Weird, but a good kind of weird," and what one older audience member called, "An amazing convergence of presence and sensory web making."

Vulture Sister Song is family friendly for ages 5 and up:
- Friday, March 8th 7 pm evening show is suited for ages 8+.
- Saturday, March 9th 1 pm matinee is suited for ages 5+.

The show is fully ADA accessible, and ASL interpretation will be provided at both performances by Naomi Nieves Driver.

Duration: 45-50 minutes, no intermission.

Created and performed by: Kate Elias & Ellen Smith Ahern (dance, music, design), Jacob Elias (lantern sculptures, music), Josina Guess (poetry, story), and Pete Dybdahl (music, story).
