Red Sky Performance. Raven.

Red Sky takes a traditional story to new heights through a compelling theatre dance piece for family audiences.

Raven is a fabulous and magical creature of impulse and curiosity. In order to satisfy his overwhelming sense of curiosity, Raven hatches a brilliant scheme for stealing the stars, the moon and the sun and ends up bringing light to the people of the world.
