The Christmas Revels:

The Christmas Revels: "Celestial Fools"

Presented by Washington Revels at GW Lisner Auditorium

Magic is just around the corner in a rustic village in Europe! As the Winter days grow short, three wandering performers from far-off lands weave music, dance and stories from their cultures into an enchanting and dramatic tale of the Winter Solstice. But when the sun finally sets on the longest night — and darkness seems to stretch on without end — these "Celestial Fools" lead us on a journey into the heavens to reclaim the light and restore its warmth to the world.

Our cast of over 100, ages 9-90, invites you to join tradition bearers Karim NagiShizumi Shigeto Manale and Mark Novak for this timeless fable. Sing along and dance through the aisles to eclectic instrumentals by Seth KibelVladimir Fridman and Bob Abbott, with the glorious tones of the Washington Revels Brass. And as we prepare to call back the Sun, let's light a candle, deck the hall, and revel in this exuberant blend of seasonal celebrations from around the world and across the centuries. Welcome Yule!
