Without Walls | Eshu at the Crossroads
A tale of choice, trickery and joy
Join our dancers and puppeteer as they find themselves at an enchanted crossroads. They have a decision to make but don’t know which way to turn – what will help them?
A magical rooster guards the crossroads keeping watch over everything, whilst Eshu the Trickster is ever present, unpredictable and wise with the ability to change a person’s fate at will.
Puppetry experts and renowned children’s theatre company Theatre-Rites are collaborating with the celebrated Afro Cuban choreographer and dancer Miguel Altunaga to create their first ever outdoor production.
Eshu At The Crossroads is directed by Sue Buckmaster and choreographed by Miguel Altunaga, bringing the vibrancy of Miguel’s Yoruba culture to life, full of dance, puppetry and music.
Join this wonderful family adventure. Suitable for everyone aged 4 plus.
