Midwinter Revels: A Celtic and Cabo Verdean Celebration of the Solstice


  • Sanders Theater 45 Quincy Street Cambridge, MA, 02138 United States (map)

In a small fishing village off the shores of Galway Bay, a community gathers in the local pub to celebrate the season. A child enters looking for a package that may have been delivered for his mother, who comes from another coastal town – in Cabo Verde. Songs and dances are shared, and the pub dissolves into a portal for fantasy with a transformative retelling of the Selkie story, a Celtic myth about living between two worlds. Irish songs, jigs, and reels share the stage with dance, drumming, and traditional songs from Cabo Verde.

Candida Rose will be the “Lead Culture Bearer” in this event. Run time 2 hrs 30 minutes with intermission that includes Lord of the Dance.

Tickets for performances: HERE. Prices range from $45 - $105; Children/Students: $20 - $80
