The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship

Program 2006

Featuring music and dance from Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Georgia, The Czech Republic, and Slovakia:

Wrap yourself up and jump in the troika for a snowy ride through the Eastern European countryside as the New York Revels present our own version of the classic Russian folktale 'The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship.'

In order to win the hand of his true love, the Czar's daughter, a simple hero must travel in his flying machine across the huge expanse of Eastern Europe and accomplish near-impossible tasks. And through this journey, a glittering array of winter solstice customs, folk music and songs, festive dances, and dazzling costumes brilliantly comes to life.

Experience the warmth, splendor, and family fun of the 2006 Christmas Revels.
