Bingen, Wash., Jan. 30, 2026 — From the wreckage of a ship tossed by a mighty storm, a magical adventure lifts into the air. Through playful aerial movement and imaginative theater, performers swing, climb, and soar as they explore a strange new world shaped by the sea. 

Silks become waves, masts, and secret pathways, guiding the characters as they meet curious sea creatures, friendly sky beings, and unexpected helpers along the way. With every twist, tumble, and flight, the journey becomes one of bravery and self-discovery, reminding young audiences that even after getting lost, amazing things can happen—and sometimes the greatest treasure is discovering how strong and capable you already are.

Featuring original aerial and theater, this performance will inspire and delight students of all ages.
