Living Poems of the Sea – II

This event is part of MOSSO: music in motion

Living Poems of the Sea is a meditation on the enthralling world of dolphins and whales in music, sound, words and images.

Acclaimed flautist Sally Walker was inspired to create Living Poems of the Sea through her experiences of playing her flute to enraptured dolphins and her friendship with dolphin researcher Dr Olivia De Bergerac.  Sally plays music accompanying videos and images of human-dolphin interactions over decades, and narrates a story illustrating the importance of dolphins, whales and their complex relationship with humans.

With stirring words and music by composer Lyle Chan, and special appearances of music by Christopher Sainsbury and Miguel del Aguila, Living Poems of the Sea is a work of art that asks a fundamental question: how are we meant to relate to these remarkable creatures?
