A woman at night. A vocal ritual. An invocation. And then to rest.

Where does our mind go when we cannot sleep? Based on the story of Philomela, Somnium offers audiences a merging of music, image and body exploring the voice and the voiceless, as Dawn approaches and the bird sings.

. With new music from Brú Associate Artist Julianna Bloodgood [Ologón], and co-created by James Riordan in collaboration with theatre maker Philippa Hambly [Cleite] and visual artist Jane Cassidy.
