| The Nest | The Nest | Fri 16 Aug 2024 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM | Water is the primary and essential need of every living organism. In one hand it is running out, and in another it threatens our existence. Sarah Smout's latest project takes us on a transportive journey through our intrinsic and fragile relationships with water. From her own adventures by boat to islands near and far, from source to sea, Sarah’s music shimmers with the stories of people, places and beings whose voices need to be heard. Sarah's unique use of live-looped cello soundscapes, ethereal vocals and soulful poetry, she creates a transportive and mesmerising world leaving audiences captivated and spell- bound. |
