The Mermaid and the Selkie

Work:: The Mermaid and the Selkie (S49501245)

'...It was something unlike any other something for though it had the fleshy form of a seal it was not, could not be. There, tangled in the twisted net were long fingers...' The first of Milly's Magic Lantern shows, Mermaid & Selkie was created in collaboration with illustrator, Peter Stevenson who performs with Milly & her son Orion Hart. Together they create a multilayered landscape; a simple story told through enchanting, projected visuals, fishy puppets, Milly's marvellous storytelling and original music and songs on piano, electric guitars, banjo and concertina creating a sumptuous treat accessible to all. It explores themes of the human/nature connection, the state of the seas, love and identity, through the adventures of an eco activist mermaid, a lovesick selkie an illuminated wrasse, a psychic sea horse and other wonderful creatures.
