Falling Acrossby Michael Akraka & Jon Nicholls
The dramatic and inspirational space of St John's and St Peter's Church, with the busy roads surrounding it, is the setting for a life-changing encounter between a confused, lost man and an equally fractured otherworldly being. Falling Across is an extraordinary new piece of sitespecific music-theatre; a mesmerising fusion of live instruments, operatic and community choral voices, and cutting-edge digital soundscapes.
Collaborators include former Jazz Musician of the Year James Hesford and actor / director Iqbal Khan.
Falling Across is co-commissioned by Birmingham Repertory Theatre
