In this participatory performance popular author and master storyteller Michael Caduto uses song, story and dance from indigenous cultures to present humankind as a cultural garden—a rich, interesting and exciting diversity of peoples. Caduto brings the tales to life with his signature cast of humorous and dramatic characters and voices. Stories share timely traditions of valuing cross-cultural relationships with tolerance, understanding and appreciation. We are all native to some region(s) of the world, and our roots reach out to mingle in the fertile soil of humanity.
