Show Overview
An original dance-theater performance celebrating the Celtic legend of Selkies- or Seal People - beings who are seals in the water and human on land. But, for most selkies - the song of the sea calls them back to the sea!
LNT's Song of the Sea (adapted by Taryn Noelle) is the story of a family, whose mother is a Selkie. After the second child is born, the mother (a selkie) is called back to the sea leaving her newborn - who has inherited her mothers' gift, her husband and older child.
It's hard for the family not to blame the youngest (who is mute) for the mothers disappearance - but the truth comes out and a reunion takes place and hearts and voices are healed in the end.
