SAND SILT, FLINT - EPK

A CINEMATIC FUSION OF MYTH, MUSIC AND MOVING IMAGE

Sand, Silt, Flint is a 50-minute immersive audiovisual performance — a cinematic reimagining of Scotland’s darker ballads.

Touring-ready for international theatres, arts venues and curated festivals, the production is self-contained and adaptable to a wide range of performance spaces.

Rooted in North-East Scotland’s balladry tradition yet resonant with universal themes of movement and belonging, the work blends live vocals, experimental electronica and tradtional instrumentation,  archive material and evocative film into a powerful, atmospheric experience.
