The Edinburgh International Festival (EIF) opens and closes with large-scale, crowd-pleasing events and MACRO promises just that.
The free EIF 2022 Opening Event is a physical, acrobatic production from Adelaide, Australia, by award-winning contemporary circus powerhouse Gravity & Other Myths and critically acclaimed Australian First Nations dance-theatre Djuki Mala, known for their unique fusion of traditional Australian aboriginal dance, pop culture and storytelling.
A co-production with Adelaide Festival, a 30-strong troupe of highly physical performers are backed by National Youth Choir of Scotland choir, with projections, drums, and a light display included in the mix.
The show features a cross-cultural musical collaboration between Djuki Mala and five leading Celtic musicians including Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle), Kathleen MacInnes (vocals) and Brìghde Chaimbeul (pipes).
