Staged within a multi-screen film installation, with a soundscape of birdsong, electronic music and a new score for string quartet, Above Me The Wide Blue Sky weaves together images, movement and sound with stories of love, loss and belonging from an ever changing world.
As part of the development of Above Me the Wide Blue Sky, Fevered Sleep gathered stories of people talking about their relationships with nature throughout Autumn 2012. A man whose memories are carried by birds. A woman whose children have grown with the trees. A family whose garden is the fathomless ocean. If who we are and what we call home is inextricably linked with nature, what happens when everything starts to change? performed at LICA, Lancaster, 22 - 23 February; Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry, 27 February - 2 March; Young Vic, London, 7 - 28 March 2013
