Quest presents Battle For The Winds
Performance
A diverse ensemble of south west performers and artists create three days of world class outdoor theatre:
An Epic Tale...Aeolus, Father of the Winds calls the Seven Winds of the South West to Weymouth & Portland to ensure good sailing and windsurfing events...
Thursday 26th: Wind-keepers parade through the streets from across the SW before the wind releasing ceremony begins. However Doldrum sweeps in and steals the winds and Zephyrus's daughter. Dying, Aeolus gifts his last breath to a chosen sucessor who inspires the crowd to a daring rescue.
Friday 27th: Doldrum is found and flushed out from his lair on top of Portland.
Saturday 28th: Our hero gathers the crowd on Weymouth Beach. Here, there is a spectacular show involving thousands of participants carrying torches into the sea, music gig boats from Cornwall and pyrotechnic 'Squibbers' from Bridgwater. Zephyrus's daughter is rescued and Doldrum defeated. A triumphal procession releases the winds back to the sea...
