The 2010 Christmas Revels:
December 16-19
Directed by Maureen Burford, the 2010 Christmas Revels pays tribute to our friends up North and features fancy fiddling, clog dancing, and bone playing (“kitchen” music) courtesy of our guests, Quebecois music sensations Danse Cadence (Pierre Chartrand, dancer, percussion; Eric Favreau, fiddle; Bernard Simard, guitar and vocals; Stephane Landry, accordion) , Le Choeur de Noel, the Quebecois Kids, and old friends, dancer Sharon Gouveia, Lloyd Gabrouel as master of ceremonies and The Heritage Brass Quintet.
Revels North is also pleased to welcome Debra Wise, our “Narrator,” and a long-time favorite in the Cambridge Revels (and director of her own theater company in Boston) to our annual holiday party!
Audience and cast lines blur at a Revels, so bring your best voices! We’ll sing carols and rounds together. And, at the end of Act I, “The Lord of the Dance,” Revels’ own ritual, we’ll have you singing and dancing through the aisles! Along the way, there’ll be high art and low, including the magical folk tale “La Chasse-Galerie” (“The Flying Canoe”) where the Devil gets his due, and the recitation of Susan Cooper’s now classic poem, The Shortest Day, written especially for Revels in 1977.
