Druganacht: Seven Nights in the Dark Forest

The East Atlanta Community Association (EACA) in partnership with East Atlanta businesses, artists and performers are producing a one of a kind environmental immersion event in Brownwood Park for the 2012 Halloween Season. DrugaNacht: Seven Nights in the Dark Forest is the story of Vasilisa - a lovely maiden from Eastern European folktales of yore - who seeks the gift of fire from Baba Yaga, a devil witch conversant in the forgotten languages of the Underworld. 

Vasilisa must travail through the Dark Forest doing Baba Yaga's bidding until she is deemed worthy of the sacred flame. In this enchanted place she is waylaid by mischievous Ravens, hungry Wolves, deranged Fairies and ghoulish Apparitions.

The audience will follow Vasilisa on her quest, participating in her trials and victories as they happen.

Utilizing the wealth of talent to be found in East Atlanta and surrounding neighborhoods, the Forests' inhabitants will be represented by aerialists, gypsy bands, acrobats, dancers and a fire-breathing dragon. The park will be transformed by locally created sculpture and mixed media installations.

DrugaNacht: Seven Nights in the Dark Forest opens Thursday, October 11th through Saturday, November 3rd with family-friendly 7:30pm shows on Thursdays and Saturdays and later 9pm adults-only performances on Saturdays. Tickets for the 7:30 shows will be $10. Tickets for the 9pm Saturday performances will be $12. Tickets will be buy one get one free fro all EACA members.

All proceeds do to the East Atlanta Community Association and its various programs. For ticketing and showtime information please visit www.druganacht.wordpress.com.
