Stars and Sails

Saturday 21st May 2022 – 2pm

Explore the importance, power and vulnerability of the sea through songs, sights and stories! Listen to worldwide folk tales, music and history. Join the global quest to protect our beautiful oceans.

“A beautiful combination of songs, sounds and storytelling.” Adam Crowther, BBC Radio Bristol

Stars and Sails features local sea shanties, ancient world music, and historical sea farers from all over the world. The layers of a loop station blend with live singing, beatbox, puppetry and storytelling. Design is centred around junk modelling, creating costume, props and set from marine detritus.

Suitable for all ages, recommended for 5 years +
