“It was a joy and a privilege to see and hear astonishingly creative people from different disciplines combine in a work of such transcendent wonder ... This is no run of the mill endeavour - an energy of cosmic proportions reaches into our souls and demands a heartfelt response" - Avril Silk
and wonderful audience response so far ..
"A truly magnificent and emotional journey". "Superb performance, expressive dancing, lovely interactions with musician and attention to audience. Left feeling glad." "Its like watching my secrets. Just beautiful." "The poetry brought the stars alive, the dance brought in the rhythm and the visual spectacle. To let the mind wander, the heart glow and the value of life be re-kindled."
The Antara narrative is told through the stirring spoken word of raising urban poetry star Steve Duncan, making the piece a fascinating collaboration of cultures and art-forms.
