Skunk without k is Sun is an experimental solo opera, working with audio description as operatic sung material. The piece explores the human tendency to describe and name its presence in order to exist. It’s a world where language shapes a reality of constant transformation and becoming. It zooms out on the macro-perspective of an earth that transforms beyond human presence and into the micro-perspective of the traces we’re leaving behind.

The piece presents a sensorial world, where slow-moving sculptural choreography is explored as an approach to voice, sound, vision and smell whilst using audio description as a narrative tool.

Research question: What narratives are experienced through description of colours, movement, shapes and light? Does an imaginary world have equal presence to what can be experienced visually?

If you would benefit from a brief audio described introduction of the space and costume, please arrive 10 minutes before the performance starts.
