Seachange

Through water we can see ourselves; and the reflection of what has been before; through water we are stretched, translucent eddies of bodies and of experience, fragmented in shadow light underplayed: the coils of which stretch from generation to generation.

Traditional and folkloric themes and metaphoric and physical conceptions of bodies of water from historical, local and visceral experiences of the Baltic sea are presented alongside those from the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Amazonia, interweaving music from African diaspora and Nordic heritages.

Through water: visions of selves ancient and othered, directional longings and the veins of the liquid heart, mirrors through which worlds collide; initiation, propulsion and powerlessness; transformation that requires observance and remembrance; recollections of togetherness and unity found in the evening voices of the waves; passages and transfigurations that leave renewal in their wake;

Ocean is the place of origin and of return.
