Georgia Beatty’s The Book of Stars w. Emily Schubert
The Book of Stars is the folktale of the Light Queen, written and performed by fiddler and folk artist Georgia Beatty. The show combines original music with the old projector technology known as a “magic lantern” to tell the story of the cosmic queen who is reborn every 3,000 years to learn the songs of Light, and use them to heal Earth from oppressive powers. Exploring resonance as both a musical and ancestral concept, visuals, song and story guide the audience through a grounding ritual to discover the present body as a living archive; capable of healing a broken world. Before The Book of Stars, fellow crankie artist Emily Schubert will present World Woman and Other Stories, a series of crankies and a contastoria revolving around themes of ecological preservation, dreams, and a philosophy for our current times!
