Reflections Festival
A Journey to Authenticity
Merope, the hidden seventh sister of the Pleiades star cluster
Reflections Festival is a multi-genre exploration of the human collective that aims to engage renowned composers, musicians, dancers, choreographers, storytellers, filmmakers and actors and make Northern Arizona the home of a world class summer retreat for education, exploration, collaboration and production in the performing and visual arts.
Each year Reflections Festival will choose a specific theme for that year on which it will focus. Our inaugural event, Fall/Winter 2022/2023, will be presented as both a seven minute film and one day live event, focusing on finding our authentic selves through the story of Merope, the hidden seventh sister of the Pleiades star cluster. We wonder whether Merope, who cannot be seen with the naked eye, is in fact our authentic self.
Our seven minute film consists of five scenes. Each of these scenes features dance, music, spoken word, and visual arts. We filmed in Sedona on August 13 & 14, 2022. We anticipate a late Fall premiere in Sedona with a world premiere in Flagstaff in May 2023.
