On Slack Tide

Closing the festival, we’re thrilled to share a new collaboration from musician Aurora Engine and poets JL Williams, Dean Atta and another special guest. This three-act piece fuses music, voice, electronica, poetry and performance in a singular striking soundscape that explores the transitions that shape our lives – pregnancy, birth and matrescence, coming of age, death and grief – and the waiting, stasis and subsequent flurry action or emotion that often accompany them. This new work, specially commissioned for the festival, promises to be haunting and holding, magical and meaningful.
