Earth, Water, and Fire: exploring today's land through our ancestor's eyes

Announcing a virtual live performance of EARTH, WATER, FIRE!, a synthesis of story, original music and film broadcast on Zoom with a panel session afterwards on 18th April 19:30-9:30 BST.

In the times before modern science, things were explained differently. Tales told through generations passed on the knowledge and wisdom of people and place, wrapped in the epic journeys of heroes, heroines and dragons.

Devon-based storyteller, Lisa Schneidau, spent the autumn working with Dr Claire Kelly of Plymouth University and a wide range of people from across north Devon. They explored the latest climate and environmental science, met people battling with modern monsters, and explored how science and stories can entwine to illuminate the new generations living in the long-established landscapes around us.

What hero stories would our ancestors tell of rural life today? Our landscapes are rapidly changing, the maidens have attitude and armour is pointless… Lisa, with musician Emma Welton and filmmaker Matt Biggs, present a new contemporary storytelling show, directed by Paula Crutchlow, that connects us across the centuries.

Supported by Arts Council England, Plymouth University, North Devon & Torridge Councils and Beaford.

Ages 13+
