A decade of touring performances and meeting South American creatives in Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Bolivia has inspired Helen to create these songs that are influenced by a rich variety of traditions, music and poets, from Quechua dances in Bolivia to a demonstration against violence led by women in Colombia, from the poetry of Argentinean human rights activist Alicia Partnoy to the question and answer patterns of pan pipes, and from Brazilian children’s clapping games to politician and poet Pablo Neruda’s journeys.
Performed by Helen Chadwick Song Theatre with Joanna Foster, Barbara Gellhorn, Aileen Gonsalves and Helen Chadwick.
Doors open at 4.15pm, workshop 4.30 – 6pm, concert 7.30pm.
