Addressing one of the most pressing issues of our time, Houses Slide, commissioned by the London Sinfonietta for soprano and ensemble, describes one woman’s intimate psychological journey to investigate her response to the climate emergency.
The concert presentation is directed by the award-winning theatre director Katie Jane Mitchell OBE, whose minimalist approach will feature up to 16 bicycles powering the production – alongside the musicians of the London Sinfonietta, conductor Sian Edwards and soloist Jessica Aszodi, who herself will perform from one of the bikes.
