In this production, written by Nicholas Alva, the life of St. Francis of Assisi represents an individual’s profound realization of positive change. The story is presented in the form of a narrative collage of poetry, prose, song, instrumental music, story telling, and dance. The songs of Donovan are interlaced with written works of art from India, Persia, the Middle East, the Gospels, Ancient and Medieval Europe, as well as contemporary and original works. Many of the texts from these various cultures were created during the time of St. Francis.

This will be a mostly non-amplified event of voice actors, singers, wind instruments, hand percussion, acoustic bass guitar and a dancer. It will be an intimate performance in intimate venues, so seating will be limited. Tickets available at the door, but please RSVP 707-795-3545.
