What happens when two worlds meet our own? <\/strong>
Gods argue, demons fall in love, and earth becomes a playground!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During 2010 I was commissioned by The British Museum <\/a>to create six interlinked performances inspired by ‘A History of the World in 100 Objects’<\/a><\/em>project. The performances were based on objects such as: a mammoth tusk<\/a>; a stone tablet;<\/a> a mosaic tile<\/a>; fragments of calligraphy<\/a>, and a bronze statue<\/a> . The performances lasted six hours and spread over a whole year! The World Above – The World Below<\/em> draws on this research.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Above – The World Below<\/em> weaves together fact and fiction, and the elemental worlds of Roman, Indian and Babylonian mythology. The listener is <\/strong>transported through three worlds, as the <\/strong>ancient mythologies expose the relationship between the sexes, question the nature of desire, and look towards death for fertility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
