THE PROJECT
This year’s project is La Musa de Da Vinci .

The piece about the ‘muses’ that inspired the genius of Leonardo. It is a visual opera that explores the influences of that time and the cosmic soup the created the workshop of his mind. These dreams of creative individuals who see something beyond the material world, and can conjure up a new reality, shape our culture and shape our idea of life. They create the objects of our world. These dreams that beget artistic expression which inspire millions of people. These first begin with the cosmic idea of the Diva and the Muse.

In 2004 they started doing art work for the Center Camp Café which included both the Main Stage and Spoken Word stages.
