The Fool and The World is inspired by the 22 Major Arcana cards of a Tarot deck and is performed to music by Sophia Serghi. The trio of performers takes on the characters and situations depicted in the cards, bringing them to life through acrobatics and dance. The show begins with The Deck, a performance of all 22 cards in their traditional order. Next is The Readings in which one or more audience members are invited to draw a set of cards on behalf of everyone. The company then performs those particular cards in a new order and context, specific to that audience. All are invited to contemplate the personal meaning they might interpret from the cards. Aura CuriAtlas offers this Tarot performance as an enjoyable way for audiences to have a conversation with their imagination.
