Vulture Sister Song: Performance

This wild interdisciplinary performance explores human and more-than-human relationship through story, song, sculpture and dance. With live storytelling and folk music, a migrating herd of creature-like lanterns, curious movement and a healthy dose of humor, Vulture Sister Song brings together artists and community members to celebrate the possibilities of vibrant interdependence.
