GDIF 2024 | London’s free, annual outdoor performing arts festival 23 August-8 September 2024
The Sky is Filled with Thunder
27 - 28 August | 8pm | Lytton Strachey Path Park, SE28 8DU
Duration: 60mins
Tickets: Free
Experienced in a playground in Thamesmead at dusk, The Sky Is Filled With Thunder features the voices of local children in a multi-layered audio artwork about home, migration, family history, hope, anger, fear and joy.
It celebrates children in all their emotional complexity, with all their wild dreams and uncertain futures. They have something to tell us. They want – they need – to be heard.
Aimed at adult audiences, suitable for those aged 7+.
You will wear headphones as part of this experience.
If you want to enjoy this audio performance from the comfort of your own home, you can listen to it live online using this link: https://www.feveredsleep.co.uk/project/the-sky-is-filled-with-thunder
