AVALONA is a mystical musical experience, weaving together a multidimensional artform of song, sacred storytelling, dance, 3D visual projections, and interactive AI technology. The mission and soul of AVALONA is to open up the conversation of mental health awareness, see our connection to each other, and help raise the consciousness of the planet.

The world of AVALONA is a sacred place of magic, courage, and transformation… a place within us all. AVALONA, takes you on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, from darkness to light, from fear to freedom. You, “The Seeker”, follow the path of a woman, Avalona, who must make the conscious choice to Live, to Love, and to See, See beyond the veil of illusion which has blocked her from her true essence. When she chooses to see, the veil of illusion is lifted and she is thrust into a beautiful q, yet terrifying, odyssey. Will she be lost forever in a dream, or will she awaken to the magic of her own destiny? As we journey with her, we are each inspired to step into our own light, discover our own truth, and make the choice to LIVE… LOVE… SEE…
