The Experience, Alameda: Rhythmix Cultural Works Presents
The Experience: Musician Deborah Crooks helps you take flight! Saturday, February 8th at 7pm, dive into Flight Lessons, an inspiring Folk Opera, based on a true story of Peregrine Falcons nesting on Oakland’s Fruitvale Bridge. It’s the story of the falcons and humans coexisting at the edge of wild and urban life, with the narrative following an urban wildlife biologist. When tragedy strikes, the lives of these remarkable birds and their human neighbors intersect in a powerful tale of resilience, adaptation and connection. How do we value the wild in urban spaces? How do we heal after loss? This is an inspiring story at the crossroads of nature and humanity.
