Due to popular demand, we are offering a third screening of “Hebridean Treasure: Lost & Found,” the live-stage dance, music, and song performance based on John Philip Newell's script of the story of Celtic Spirituality in the Western Isles of Scotland as it relates to the journey of humanity and Earth today. People throughout the world were deeply moved by the performance at Findhorn's Universal Hall in Scotland on March 19, 2022. As a member of the audience said afterwards, "I remember now what it is to be whole and to live in wholeness". And as one of the international livestream viewers said, "This is a rite of hope and healing, of birth and dreaming, of restoration and redemption."
The link to view the recorded presentation will be sent to you after registering with Eventbrite through the button above.
The video link will be live for viewing at your leisure from the times listed above on June 18 through June 21.
In Hebridean Treasure: Lost & Found internationally acclaimed writer, John Philip Newell, works with some of Scotland’s most talented young artists to tell the story of the Celtic spiritual tradition of the Scottish Hebrides using song, dance and narrative to convey both the richness of the tradition in its awareness of the earth, and its decimation in the Highland Clearances of the 19th century.
Throughout the performance, composer and Gaelic singer Mischa Macpherson weaves her music around the compelling performance of Bharatanatyam dancer Kirsten Newell, achieving what has never been attempted before - a memory of the forgotten influence of India on the Celtic soul.
In the retelling of a Scottish tragedy, Newell invites awareness of the universal story of the displacement of native peoples and the consequent loss of ancient wisdom. Hebridean Treasure moves through tragedy to portray the recovery of spiritual vision for the ecological crises of today with beauty, pathos, and hope.
