Postponed - The Folk Bus presents: Trickster Makes The World

  • Burdall's Yard Anglo Terrace Bath, England, BA1 5NH United Kingdom (map)

Postponed

Folklorist Oliver Lavery and folk musician Tamsin Quin return to Burdall's Yard for a mythical, musical mash up of surreal performance storytelling.

The subject of this motley collection of folktales is the Trickster. The Trickster Archetype is common to many of the world's mythologies, always ruining everything for everyone with their silly pranks, but somehow managing to make the world a better place - almost by accident. 

From Peter Pan to Puck. From Crow, Coyote and Wolverine of Native American folklore, to the Norse god Loki, to the Greek Hermes, to the African Spider god Anansi – the world is full of Tricksters. They’re reflections of us: both wise and foolish - at the same time. 

So come with us in a folkloric journey around the globe where we will discover how Trickster Makes this World.
