Artwork by Hannah Brewerton
A live dance and music experience, by choreographer Katya Bourvis, in collaboration with creative producer Tala Lee-Turton, with score by Hannah Peel.
A seventeen-piece brass band performs Peel’s critically acclaimed record Mary Casio: Journey To Cassiopeia, exploring the ephemeral nature of human existence, memory and imagination.
Blurring the boundaries between time and space, we meet Barnsley woman, Pia, across three generations of her life, as her mind journeys between the closed collieries of her hometown and increasingly vivid dreams of space travel.
