Out Of The Wild Sky

About

Out Of The Wild Sky is packed full of love and magic. Through the parade, Macnas sculpt a new cosmos into being, where the language of birds and the stars take flight. Bells ring out, stitches of lightning burst forth, as a new horizon lights up the deep and the wondrous and lifts up the sky.

The Story

A Winged Prophet has been waiting for a millennium, hovering in and out of worlds.

Between the white fire of the stars and the whispering woods can be heard the breath of small kingdoms rising and falling… Dreams floating, light as moths, among the branches of the trees, where sweetness and tangibility flicker against the dark hug of time.
