Greetingzzzz!
El Splash Zone is a bilingual participatory musical experience, bringing together Spanish and English speaking communities in the spirit of hope, connection, and healing. The experience will feature a dynamic blend of songs, activities, puppets, and story - uplifting insights from the bees as we move through and are transformed by conflict, especially tension that stems from cross-cultural misunderstandings. Spinning off from the story of the Tower of Babel, we’ll journey together through the watery challenges and opportunities of multilingual diversity - all carried on the current of original music performed by the Babble Ons.
This is not a spectator experience - get ready to be splashed with emotion, get out of your seats in playful dance, and get tangled up in stories of metamorphosis through friction. There will be different levels of participation you can opt into. Walk away with new friendships, and a loaded conflict tool belt - equipped with songs and practices to bring levity and perspective into moments of tension.
On the 8th, we'll open with a report back from native bee organizers, complete with anecdotes, photos, and honey tastings. We will also have an evening event the following day, November 9, with doors opening at 5pm. Please RSVP for the one you plan to attend! https://luma.com/k8dg1tqv
Covid protocol: We will be mostly outside but still cozy and close, so please rapid test before coming. Masking encouraged while indoors.

Writing to invite you all to a participatory theater experience inspired by the wisdom of the bees: El Splash Zone. On Saturday November 8, at 2 we'll open with native honey tastings, stories from native bee guardians of latin america, followed by an immersive journey guided by original music of yours truly, and carried by puppets, movement, and our beloved bees. If you don't catch Saturday's show, we'll also be performing on Sunday November 9 from 5:30-8:30. Register for details.
Here is the registration for the 8th and here for the 9th.
