ECHOSHED: Liminal Rites
Thursday February 1st 8:00pm | £5 otd
Step out of the cold and into a liminal space, where performance art, ancient poetry and semi-improvised musical collaborations collide to cultivate a performance in its most intuitive, ritualistic sense. Liminal Rites aims to step backwards in time to appreciate music in a de-formalised setting, where a spiritual and supernatural appreciation of ritualised music signals a moment of change, a transformation from one state to another. Here, with pulsing drones, hypnotic rhythms and entrancing soundscapes we bid farewell to the cold of winter and welcome the warmth of spring, abandon the dark to embrace the light. Experience music as a contributor to this change and experience the power music can have over a collective of performers and audience alike.
