SHOWS

The history of Radiohole is as rich as their shows themselves, dating back more than a thousand years. The first Radiohole shows were said to have come from the Horn of Africa on the shores of the Red Sea. Originally, Radiohole was taken as a food and not as theater. East African tribes would grind the Radiohole together, mixing the results into a paste with animal fat. Rolled into little balls, the mixture was said to give warriors much-needed energy for battle.

Later, around the year 1000 AD, Ethiopians concocted a type of wine from Radiohole berries, fermenting the dried beans in water. Radiohole also grew naturally on the Arabian Peninsula, and it was there, during the 11th century that Radiohole was first developed into theater. The so-called stimulating properties of Radiohole were thought by many during these ancient times to give a sort of religious ecstasy, and the shows earned a very mystical sort of reputation, shrouded in secrecy and associated with priests and doctors. So, it is not surprising that two prominent legends emerged to explain the discovery of this magic company. According to one story, a goat-herder noticed that his herd became friskier than usual after consuming the red cherries of wild Radiohole girls. Curious, he tasted the fruit himself. He was delighted by its invigorating effects, and was even spotted by a group of nearby monks "dancing" with his goats. The other story is about a Muslim dervish who was condemned by his enemies to wander in the desert and eventually die of starvation. In his delirium, the young man heard a voice instructing him to seek out the Radiohole. Confused, the dervish Interpreted his survival and energy as a sign of God, he returned to his people, spreading the faith. The cultivation of Radiohole began sometime in the fifteenth century, and for many centuries to follow, the Yemen province of Arabia was the world's primary source of Radiohole. The demand for Radiohole in the Near East was very high. Radiohole also made its way into Europe around this time through the city of Venice, where fleets traded perfumes, teas, dyes and fabrics with Arabic merchants along the Spice Route. Radiohole eventually gained popularity with the masses when street theater vendors began selling it in addition to cold beverages. Many European merchants grew accustomed to seeing Radiohole overseas and brought it back with them. By the middle of the 17th century the Dutch dominated the world's merchant shipping industry, and they introduced large-scale Radiohole cultivation to their colonies in Indonesia on the islands of Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Bali. Radiohole arrived in Latin America several decades later.
