MOUNTAINS AND SEAS - SONG OF TODAY 山海 · 今日之歌

PRESENTED BY Xie Rong and Daniel York Loh. Commissioned and co-produced with Kakilang
Mountains and Seas – Song of Today 山海 · 今日之歌: A bold, genre-defying performance confronting our world in crisis.

“It sang on the wind 

It soared in the skies 

It flew on the breeze 

It came from another world even then 

Now it’s locked away in another age…”  

Created by acclaimed performance artist Xie Rong (aka Echo Morgan) and writer, filmmaker, musician, and director Daniel York Loh (Off West End Award nominee for The Dao of Unrepresentative British Chinese Experience),  Mountains and Seas – Song of Today 山海 · 今日之歌  is a compellingly bold, genre-defying new work, inspired by the 4th-century BCE Classic of Mountains and Sea ( 山海經) , exploring climate crisis, activism, rising global fascism, and existential dread. 

Blending poetry, visual art, dance, and music,  Mountains and Seas – Song of Today 山海 · 今日之歌  is an electrifying interdisciplinary experience — a performance that soars, strikes, and stirs. 

There will be a panel discussion following the show on 5 DEC – free to all ticket holders

Accessibility: BSL interpretation on 6 DEC

MEAT

A brilliantly bold, tour-de-force performance, hilariously funny, profoundly emotional, a powerhouse production. In an age of patriarchy, where women’s bodies are commodified objects, MEAT is an electrifying roar of fury, a rallying cry of protest, a unifying celebration of strength packed with heroism & heart
