Western Arts University Ambassadors (USA)

My favourite show from this year’s Aberdeen International Youth Festival (AIYF) was the Western Arts University Ambassadors (USA). The story was called “Blazing Tides” and it was about the struggles and conflicts between the elements of fire and water. The story was influenced by a range of stories and films such as Romeo and Juliet and The Last Airbender.
