What is "Night Fires"?

“Night Fires” is a winter solstice celebration for our times, rooted in ancient traditions: an “opera” with poetry and dance, a pageant rich in color, image and spirit.

"A heartfelt pageant of singing, dancing, storytelling, chanting and visual magic...(with) a mystery to its magic...

"A liturgy of universality (with) an almost sacramental power.

"...afterward, audience members wish they could remember all those marvelous poems and songs and store them up like firewood for cold nights.

"People come as spectators and leave as members of a community."

*Ed Barna, Rutland Herald
