A bold adaptation of the Welsh folktale, with music by Kizzy Crawford.
Every land has its tale, its origin story if you will…
Come with us as we tell the tale of three women from different lands – a warrior, a healer, and a leader – journeying to find new adventures until a surprising foe incites them to stand together and fight to protect the freedom to choose.
Daughters of the Sea is a tapestry of multilingual spoken word, dynamic dance, and soul/funk/folk music fusion.
‘…possesses an undercurrent of horror despite expressive lyricism’
Guardian on previous work by Krystal S. Lowe
