GOAT SONG
In a town where not much happens - a passing through place, a catastrophe occurs and the town falls into silence…
What does it take to restore the song?
Based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, with Eurydice taking centre stage - calling the tunes - Goat Song explores the connection between under-worlds and upper-worlds.
It's a gig, it's a lament, and it's ultimately about letting go.
A highly visceral style of performance with live vocal-looping, and stunningly poetic visual imagery.
Created in collaboration with performers Leeza Jessie, Xavier De Santos, Samuel De La Torre, Sofia Velez, Alice Barton,and music composed by John Baggott.
