World premiere

Music / Theatre

Songs for the Dark is a new performance exploring the ritual of song that holds us.

Devised by Australian interdisciplinary artist/composer Sophia Brous with collaborating performers from the Hudson Valley and Berkshires region, and Latvian dramaturg Gundega Laiviņa, the performance examines the global repertoire of lullabies that help us through the dark.

Bringing together song and personal storytelling, this show is a testimony to our universal need to be soothed and secure. Part immersive performance, concert nocturne, and public testimonial, it is an invitation to witness each other’s humanity together.
