Folly

Renowned Ottawa Storyteller Jacqui will take audiences on an incredible journey to Mama Africa to learn about the legendary trickster, Anansi the Spider. With the use of live drumming, song, and dance, Jacqui and her drummer, Denis Kashi, will weave Anansi’s story, setting the imagination free while stepping into a magical world, using the setting of the park, from many moons ago.
