Tonight, we must leave, take to the sea and make the crossing! There are far too many stringed instruments trying to climb onto such a flimsy boat, you’d think it was made of paper. They are far too heavy, and their music is their only ID. Among them, a little violin dreams through the dark night-time escape.

La Mer draws on the emotion created by music to offer a dreamlike, sensory space for a poetic and dramatic journey about migration.

Like a timeless, silent fable, La Mer examines human migration through the lens of a family of musical instruments, combining original compositions played live, object theatre and unusual sound textures.
