A marriage of true minds?
Take a versatile musician equally at home with JS Bach as with modern looped music written specially for him. Add a poet, poetry performance and singer. And what have you got?
An entrancing blend of words and music on the theme of love – sometimes ecstatic, often rueful, occasionally sad, even tragic, and frequently hilarious – which has delighted audiences both at home and abroad.
Sometimes, in Touchable Dreams, words follow the music, echoing its plangent harmonies; at other times music follows the words, transforming their individual power into raw emotion. And sometimes the words and the music are intertwined in an almost physical interdependency.
And what makes the show special is the rapport that the performers have created between themselves and their audiences.
Touchable Dreams – an unforgettable blend of metaphor and melody.
