How Night came from the sea
(First Light Festival: winter solstice 2020)

brazilian folktale

We partnered with First Light Festival to create this gorgeous film ‘How Night Came from the Sea’: a magical folk story from Brazil, told by actor Hilary Greatorex, with music by Sylvia Hallett.

The film was shown in a live stream online on 20th December 2020 as part of First Light Festival's Winter Solstice Celebrations.


Watch the film below, to find out how Night arrived with the help of a Sea Serpent, a bag and some disobedient servants - an enchanting performance for all ages..
