Of Sand And Stone
Of Sand And Stone
Of Sand And Stone explores the great lands of Egypt! The show opens in an arid desert with a steady wind, where a trumpet soloist directs our attention to pyramid props on the field. The ballad is spiritual and contemplative, alluding to the Egyptian sun god Ra - king of the dieties and father of all creation. The show concludes as we arrive at an oasis and experience a sense of relief from the hot desert sun. Of Sand And Stone works as a standalone concept show but also lends itself well to stories of desert travelers or parables of the human experience. Between captivating music and endless visual design possibilities, students and audiences alike will love the exciting and fast-paced nature of this show!
