Arcana

Fay Guiffo • Professional company

55 minutes•Central
Arcana is a poetic, music-led journey about finding your voice and the courage to truly listen to yourself. We follow Arcana, an apprentice court composer trapped in a world of fear and obligation, as her search for “music for all” becomes a deeper quest for identity and freedom. Blending Western classical music with African musical traditions, the show weaves live violin, rich soundscapes, movement, and multilingual storytelling into an immersive, visually striking experience. A bold, cross-cultural performance, Arcana invites audiences into a space of reflection, wonder, and shared humanity. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com
