Celebrate the Winter Solstice with a unique performance experience and a glass of mead.
Inspired by the colour and movement of the landscape of Iceland ‘Songs of the Solstice’ is set against the backdrop of a Winter art installation.
The artistic works draw inspiration from the best-selling novel ‘Burial Rites’ written by Australian author Hannah Kent.
The mood and ambience of the Icelandic landscape creates in ‘Burial Rites’ inspired Michaele Archers, Creative Director of ‘Songs of the Solstice’ show and to write the song ‘Galatea’.
The first half of the show includes original music by Apsara, readings and visual media.
