We invite you to join us in our mission to bring joy and movement back to Earth. Let's sing, dance, and celebrate together!WeCameToDance is, put simply, a blast.
You will interact with aliens from a real exoplanet (they call it “Hanyana”) that we have reimagined through conversations with NASA. The performers will sing in their own language created by famed linguist David Peterson, who developed Valerian for HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Alongside the cast, you will groove to music created by Grammy-nominated Ghanaian artist Rocky Dawuni and participate in synchronized dance designed by Mary Page Nance of Broadway’s “Finding Neverland.” It is an ethereal, truly otherworldly experience that builds layered rhythms over spoken word poetry performed by an all-Scottish cast.
Our musical tells the story of extra-terrestrial life that arrives on Earth to warn its inhabitants of a climate crisis that their own planet has experienced. While guiding you in a fully immersed experience through rhythms, dance, and song, the characters relay a call to action and convey the tragedy of a changing climate, yet a sense of hope percolates through each and every motion, movement, and note.
After sold out workshops and rave reviews in New York City -- "WeCameToDance" by Food Tank -- was originally meant to debut last June with Tony-award winning non-profit theatre company La MaMa as an off-Broadway run in New York City. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the show’s run was called off so Edinburgh will get to experience first what Playbill Magazine said it would be "the next hottest trend."
Don't miss the world debut at the 2021 Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
NOTE: This is not passive entertainment. For this experience to work we need you to arrive fully and engage wholeheartedly -- we promise when you do it will have a fiercely powerful impact.
