“For those who dream of stranger worlds”…
The word Pageant comes from late 14c., pagent, meaning “a play in a cycle of mystery plays,” from Medieval Latin pagina, a word of uncertain origin, perhaps from Latin pagina “page of a book”. As our lives are also within these cycles, this is a moment to honor these mysteries,this page within this spiralic book.
Move back & forth to view Pageant of the Plants invitations, year 1 & 2.
The Pageant of the Plants is a chance to embody our dear ancestors, the Plants, by way of costume, movement, dance, poetry, music, spoken word, silence…
& witnessing each other in these acts.
Within this, we honor all aspects of the verdant world,
from the murky, darkness of the slow-moving swamplands,
to the sensual expectancy of the unopened buds,
to the exuberant sexuality of blossoms,
to the cutting wounds of thorns,
to the withered stalks & decomposition of death into life
through all the Seasons.
May this honoring be well received by all.
