Duncelt
September 29, 2007
Yesterday evening was the closing show of the Duncelt festival in Dunvegan. It was a light show depicting a local legend about a piper being brought into the world of the faeries where he has to perform a number of challenges.
The show was impressive and was performed largely on a stage set in the waters of Loch Duvegan, by a group of people called “te POOKa”. The audience was more or less directly involved as the majority of the performers made their entrance through the group of spectators standing at the car park: faeries, goblins, a scary looking chap with a hood, the piper, a dancer with a hoop…
The show and the music were really nice although the storyline was a bit hard to follow at times, as the actors appeared not to wear microphones. But alas… the drift of the story was clear and the great weather, the surroundings, the music and the mystical characters did in fact create a special atmosphere for me. The show ended with impressive fireworks when the piper had completed all his challenges.
We went over to the Early Bird Enterprises booth and enjoyed one of their lovely venison burgers. A great evening!
