Created by choreographer Bettina Carpi and composer Gary Lloyd
Featuring a specially commissioned poetry cycle
by Costa Award winning writer Mary Talbot
Inspired by natural forces, the work is as much a celebration of nature and its resilience as it is a call to awareness about the dangerous state of our climate, our habitat and our planet.
The title of the piece is inspired by a quote from the novel
A Wizard Of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
