The 2011 Christmas Revels
"Andalusian Treasures" Opens This Weekend! |
Join us for the show that The Washington Post says
"... should be part of every family's holiday festivities."
Our 29th annual celebration of the winter solstice harkens back over 1,000 years to the confluence of Moorish, Sephardic and Iberian cultures in medieval Andalusia. Led by the antics of two fools, and joined by guest musicians, Trio Sefardi and Layali El Andalus ("Andalusian Nights" in Arabic), we celebrate the legacy of the extraordinary flowering of arts and culture that began there and extended to much of the world for centuries thereafter. Presenting the three cultures together on stage, we honor the symbol that Andalusia has become (however imperfect the reality) of the ideal of greater tolerance and acceptance among different cultures and religions.
8 PERFORMANCES:
December 3-4 & 9-11 (matinees and evenings)
GW Lisner Auditorium, 21st & H Streets NW, Washington, DC
