Each duo makes a ceremonial entrance at the top of the show in each of their respective village amphitheaters. They then make their way down to the water, where they set out on elaborate lantern vessels.

The four costumes were designed by Irina Kruzhilina and will feature 81 different embroidery motifs, 180 different fabrics and more than 250 various bead designs. The costumes were designed for mythical beings that aren’t supposed to represent any specific time or place but instead took influence from Native American, European and Far Eastern cultures.

Rivers of Light opens April 22nd at Animal Kingdom. Will you check it out?
