A story about voice, identity and freedom
Caught between the rigid expectations of her Emperor father and her own compelling desire to find her true voice, apprentice composer Arcana must decide who she wants to become before the might of the imperial regime silences every last voice for good.
An immersive, visually stunning production combining movement, cinematic music, and live virtuoso violin performance, Arcana is brought to life through an original score by writer-composer Fay Guiffo. At its heart is a story about finding your voice, following your path, and the rise of hope in the face of relentless adversity.
At the crossroads of Afrofuturism and Afrofantasy, Arcana brings live violin, cinematic soundscapes, movement and multilingual storytelling into one visually striking performance. It invites audiences into a space of reflection, wonder and shared humanity.
