Raven is a fabulous creature of impulse and invention. In order to satisfy his overwhelming sense of curiosity, Raven hatches a brilliant scheme for stealing the stars, the moon, and the sun, and ends up bringing light to the world. Raven is a delightful and compelling dance theatre piece for families and children of all ages.
