Set- Doorways

A flier for a performance: Against a black background, seven different doorways open, arranged similar to a Tarot spread, revealing fractal images behind each- forest scenes, sky scenes, a multi-pointed star, a butterfly, a map, a pathway and billowing smoke. White text reads: Kaade presents Doorways, a multi sensory presentation on dark faermelore around the world. Harp and other traditional instruments, storytelling, fractal art, and full afternoon teat with reservation. Kaade.net

This has been my most recent large set, consisting of seven sections, each covering a different geographic area. I have performed this at the Albuquerque Folk Festival and a local tea shop, so that as many senses as possible can be communicated. Each section uses a different fractal print, but digital projection could also work for night-time/indoor presentations. Some of the music played, with related stories: Traditional Irish wire-strung harp pieces, music mentioned in Scottish witchcraft trials, early Cumbia piece, traditional Igbo melody, Chinese xiao dragon tune, Welsh melody associated with the Tylwyth Teg.

I could conceivably expand this into a larger set of up to thirteen parts, with other performers doing related material between different sections, for a several hour experience.
