ABOUT THE SHOW
Out of the sand, magnificence grows. Millions of generations of Deoxyribonucleic Acid evolved into Cacti and plants that survive in one of the driest climates of the New World. Europeans were astounded at how this could happen. Unexplainable forces converged for these beings to thrive from eroded stardust. They are here for as long as we are, and although their prickly defense can seem uninviting, their medicines and health benefits could be explained by “myths” of the Natives as a symbiosis as old as the Big Bang. Many days of stories can be told of their existence, why they are here, and why we owe our respects to them.
