A PAGeant of the ApocaLypse; wherein a ruined world is saved, or not.
Though deep of night, a sun did rise and from that sun two more suns appeared stretching to the right and left of the center sun—adjacent to the mountains. It then did happen that human flesh, or real blood, felled upon the land, from the sky which at the time was wondrous and really terrible to be hold for it kilt and slay all the men and woman on the earth and world within, both high and low, save eight and they be known to you: a Farmer, a Merchant and his Daughter who was tall, a Milkmaid, a Child Bride and her Attendant, A Knight, and a Nun.
The Beastiary was commissioned and presented by Ars Nova in 2024.
