The Cave
The Cave is a cabaret event that is as entertaining as its themes are timely: a group of animals hide in a cave while a forest fire rages around them. They sing about their memories, their growing anxiety, and their condemnation of the human race for evicting them from their homes. This year, Luminato’s virtual festival features the recorded live-stream of the original production presented at Luminato 2019.
