‘If suffering purifies the soul / then I’m as pure as one could hope
A beauty bordering on the obscene…’

Enter a liminal space for a sonic exploration of myth, fairytale and archetypes. A playground of dream soundscapes, where experimental dance meets Klezmer.

The final instalment in London Sinfonietta’s fourth series of its pioneering Writing the Future music creation scheme sees visionary multidisciplinary artist Nwando Ebizie turn the traditional concert experience on its head. This groundbreaking new work will use multi-sensory immersion to challenge your perception of reality: poetry expressed in British Sign language and passionate dance create visual music, whilst vibrations throughout the space create a haptic experience. This multi-sensory theatrical and musical evening oscillates from romantic song to nightmarish visions, intimate reverie and lucid horror.

The inter-dependent music, English text and theatrical BSL were created symbiotically to engender many different sensory points of access to the piece, whilst creating a unique art-music event.

‘Looking to the light, through the dark forests, meeting here, beyond the crossroads’

Writing the Future offers early career music creators unique opportunities to nurture their talents and to develop a new piece in partnership with a world-class producing ensemble, and established mentors. The current cohort of composers is Nwando Ebizie, Alicia Jane Turner, Luke Lewis, and Alex Paxton. Nwando has joined forces with a number of prominent D/deaf and disabled artists including actor Sophie Stone to develop the piece.
