Do you see what I’m singing?

This is a vocal performance that invites the audience to immerse themselves in a multi-sensory experience and explore the connection between the Danish and Irish vocal cultures.

According to Danish mythology, Odin sacrificed one eye and gained wisdom, poetry and magic in return. Ireland has a long tradition of the blind seer – including blind harpist Turlough O’Carolan and poet Antoine Ó Raifteirí.

Audiences are invited to turn down their dominant sense of sight and instead open up to a deeper connection to hearing and touch. There will be material available for the audience to help deepen this sensory exploration.

The performance has been created through an international collaboration between singer-songwriters Emilie Conway and Sussie Nielsen, sound artist David Navndrup Black and the dancers from the group in FIMD, Dråbe.

The languages of the performance are Danish, English and Gaelic.
