A subterranean adventure in song and shadow!
A girl free-falls through filtered light; A barefoot child slips silently between stalagmites evading a shadowy beast; A legendary explorer searches for a lost song.
Urza and The Song in the Dark is a children’s fable set in a subterranean wonderland of complex caves, underground lakes and fantastical creatures. When a young explorer gets lost underground, a mysterious song leads her on an adventure to find her way back to the surface. On this journey, she unearths a secret trapped within the ground, fights off a dark power and comes to understand her own story.
Using old overhead projectors and live music from improvised an d traditional instruments; Urza and the Song in the Dark brings to life a vibrant world of shadow and light. It tells an epic story that gently invites audiences young and old to ponder a message of sustainability and relationship to the natural world around us. Tender and whimsical, offbeat and a little bit scary, Urza
