Ana must dance to save her people. The Capolan have always been a nomadic tribe. They move from place to place led by one who feels the magnetic tides deep inside the Earth, is in touch with the winds and dances the people to their new home. Now they have become stuck. Many feel no need to move on, but to stay would betray their heritage and, Ana believes, mark the death of their collective soul. Yet she is not ready to take on the burden of leading them to a new home. First she must journey to a better understanding of herself and become more at one with the world above and below her. Bantock’s magic explores the power of music and of one woman’s convictions.
