Comedic and thought-provoking drama explores the universal struggle for control and the illusion of self-importance. Through his wild adventures on land\, our hero finally discovers that true joy and freedom do not come from conquering an artificial world. Instead\, they come from letting go of the ego\, embracing cooperation\, and returning to the natural community where he truly belongs. Join us for a lively theatrical journey about finding your true home and learning to swim in harmony once again. \nSacred Music: Get ready to connect\, sing\, and move! To close our program\, we invite you to participate in a 45-minute interactive music session centered around ancient\, peace-inducing melodies and mantras. This is not a performance to sit and watch but it is a community experience. We use traditional instruments played for centuries in India\, including the hand-pumped harmonium (reed organ)\, clay drums\, brass hand cymbals\, and bamboo flutes. \nLimited Seating is available. Dinner will be served. \nDonation: $10 per adult\, $5 per students/seniors (on-site)
