Over 30 Local & Artists, Performers International Technicians, &, Three nights of live, ritualistic performance. Waterghosts - A sound recordist's equipment has been found with no trace of his whereabouts. Recordings retrieved from it document an otherworldly ceremony seemingly conducted near water but the mystery of his disappearance and the true nature of the ritual have, until now, remained unanswered. Through research, experiment, re-enactment and endurance a troupe of local and international performers have developed a coherent translation of this elusive and mysterious ritual, in the most unlikely of settings. Beginning as a sound art composition, created from recordings inside a chasm at the Balcary cliffs in Scotland, creator Jamie Sturrock has conceived of a fictional ceremony, basing the performance events on his interest in African folklore and sound exploration. Featuring Butoh dance, spoken word, vocal and movement improvisation, visual art projections and musicians, this outstanding group of performers will attempt to unravel the mysteries of that fateful night by the water.
