A new live production interpretation of Michael Gordon's Weather by Manchester Collective with immersive surround sound audio by Chris Watson and beautiful projections of landscapes by Carlos Casas.
A breathtaking journey through four natural habitats. Each shaped, scarred and transformed by extreme weather events.
Michael Gordon's cult 1997 piece ‘Weather’ for string orchestra is brought to life in this musical tour-de-force – a brand new collaboration between Manchester Collective, seminal sound artist Chris Watson, and Spanish filmmaker Carlos Casas.
You’ll be transported from an East Asian rainforest to the world’s oldest desert; from an Icelandic glacier to the sunken medieval town of Dunwich off the English coast… Combining live performance, real-world sound and film, WEATHER is an artistic record of threatened environments that is urgent, haunting and unforgettable.
