Graveyards and Gardens is a collaborative performance installation conceived, created and performed by composer Caroline Shaw and choreographer Vanessa Goodman with lighting design by James Proudfoot and audio design by Eric Chad and Kate De Lorme. Coproduced by Shaw and Goodman, this new work examines memory as a process of reconstruction rather than an exact recall of fixed events, embracing the various elaborations, distortions, and omissions.

Using soil as a mirror and metaphor for storing memory. A shared history by all of us. The impacts of our activity beneath our feet. Decomposition leading to regrowth and renewal. A resilience, a loop of decay and growth. Soil represents the past, present and future for our bodies.

‼️ This is definitely one not to be missed. Tickets are limited – get yours today!
