“The Way of the Rain – Hope For Earth” to World Premiere at Earthx2020 with Robert Redford, Tim Janis, Sibylle Szaggars Redford and more.

EarthX will host The Way of the Rain – Hope For Earth, a multidisciplinary environmental performance created and directed by Sibylle Szaggars Redford, in collaboration with Music Composer Tim Janis, Performance Film Artist Floyd Thomas McBee, with a special narration – spoken word by Robert Redford. The performance will be held on April 25 at Music Hall, Fair Park in Dallas for Earthx2020. Capping off the week of events, the performance interprets nature’s powerful beauty while calling attention to the Earth’s vulnerability brought on by climate change.

“We were struck by the beauty of Sibylle Szaggars Redford’s powerful piece and knew that we had to include this in our 50^th Celebration of Earth Day Week festivities,” said EarthX Founder Trammell S. Crow.

“We are honored The Way of the Rain – Hope for Earth was chosen to premiere in Dallas and to be a part of the important celebration for our Planet this coming April at EarthX,” said Sibylle Szaggars Redford, Founder, President & Artistic Director of The Way of the Rain. “The future of Earth and our well-being lies in our hands, only together – like raindrops – will we be able to nourish the river of life! Let’s raise our voices together in these crucial times for Earth – the Mother of All!”

The Way of the Rain – Hope for Earth tells the artistic story about the formation of the Universe, the evolution of all galaxies, and eventually the birth of our unique and beautiful Planet Earth with all its elements. This version of The Way of the Rain is a creation for Symphony, Choir, Film, Art and Spoken Word. This iteration of the performance will feature a performance by a youth choir comprised of students from several high schools in the Dallas area and a Dallas/Fort Worth local combined symphony, that will also include a number of student musicians.
