This act is WAZ’s rite of passage into the new world. ELA invites him to
partake in a ritual celebration with the FREE SPIRITS. At the end of the act, WAZ
is ready to show his true face to the world as the FREE SPIRITS cheer him on.
A percussionist performs a thunderous tenor drum solo and is soon joined by
four other percussionists suspended above the stage who continue the dramatic,
pulsating beat in unison. The FREE SPIRITS watch on as two artists perform a hand
to hand act on a unicycle. Suddenly, 24 ropes fall dramatically from the sky. As
the artists turn on the rotating stage, they use the ropes to create the structure
of a tent in a majestic swirling motion.
