Why the Sea is Salty presented by Barry Stewart Mann

From the beginning of time, people have told wild tales about the amazing seas that surround us. In this program, we’ll share a wonderful variety of multicultural folklore, including the “Punia and the King of the Sharks,” from Hawaii; “Mariana and the Merchild,” from Chile; “Why the Sun and Moon Live in the Sky,” from the Efik people of West Africa; and three different versions of “Why the Sea is Salty” – from India, Norway, and The Philippines. We’ll travel the world with lively storytelling, audience participation, a colorful map backdrop, and inventive props, puppets, and costumes.
