Tuesday 9th September, 7.00pm in the Orkney Theatre, Kirkwall Grammar School.
Katherine Wren, Alex South and I are performing ‘The Voyage of The Fox’, my poem sequence about the search for the missing Franklin expedition, with beautiful music composed and performed by Alex and Katherine.
Also screening : the film-poem ‘CETACEA’ – music and film created by Alex South, performed by Alex and Katherine, with excerpts from my poem ‘C-E-T-A-C-E-A’ which was written in response to the installation by Marina Rees at the Husavik Whale Museum, Iceland.
Such talented musicians, and such beautiful music. I am very lucky. ❤
