The Song Project

An intimate gig exploring the complexity of emotions. Royal Court associate designer Chloe Lamford has teamed up with Dutch singer and composer Wende to explore the moments in life where rationality feels irrelevant. The Song Project starts from the idea that some things can only be sung. Collaborating with composers, choreographers and playwrights, they share their hopes and anxieties, diving into the messiness of birth, death, rage, grace, friendship, motherhood, mothers, loss and ageing. Together, this group of female artists cast aside society’s focus on logic, progress and material things, embracing our inherent need for rituals to deal with life-changing events and giving space to the knotty, emotional complexities of life.
