Collaboration with Tangled Feet - The Festival Of The Dead, Halloween 2011 - BAC

For the 2011 Battersea Arts Centre Halloween Party, Nathan Curry and Kat Joyce, AKA Tangled Feet, asked me to write some material and musically direct the performance they devised with a great group of actors and dancers.

The idea was to create a ritual to celebrate the date uniting living and dead in a sacrificial ceremony.

Para a festa de  Halloween 2011 do Battersea Arts Centre, Nathan Curry e Kat Joyce, do grupo de teatro Tangled Feet, me pediram para escrever alguns cantos e dirigir musicalmente a performance que criaram com um grupo de atores e dançarinos. 

A idéia era criar um ritual para celebrar a data unindo a vivos e a mortos numa cerimônia de sacrifício.
