SONG OF SONGS: WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER The Brighton Laboratory in association with Jam Tarts [GB] LIVE MUSIC

A choir meets to rehearse a song to make things better. Heartbeats synchronise when people sing together. But is harmony possible when the world feels precarious? This piece involves a 60 strong choir, live music and a verbatim text. It asks us to think about the nature of community and how we love.
