Of Earth and Quill 2
The Cockpit Theatre, NW8 8EH , [Venue Details]When one world burns and the sky forgets, whose stories survive and what becomes our inHERitance?
‘Of Earth and Quill’ is a visionary one-woman opera by Helen Epega (The Venus Bushfires), creator of ‘Song Queen: A Pidgin Opera’.
Set in a post-apocalyptic future still taking form, it explores survival, cultural memory, identity and belonging through a multisensory fusion of operatic voice, African percussion, movement, sound, visual imagery and poetic storytelling.
Inspired by the enduring power of stories and the human desire to remember, the work unfolds through a series of striking visual and sonic movements. As memory fragments and histories fade, a creator searches for meaning amongst the remnants of what has been left behind, grappling with questions of inheritance, authorship and belonging.
About the show
As a synaesthete, Helen experiences music as colour, texture and shape. This unique perspective informs a richly layered multisensory approach that combines live performance, visual art, creative captioning and audience interaction to create an immersive and thought-provoking experience.
This special presentation also offers an opportunity to experience HiQuu®, Helen Epega’s patent-pending multisensory infrastructure system, through a live demonstration integrated within the performance.
