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

 

Two male presenting figures who are performing outdoors. One is a wheelchair user and is leaning far forward and posing on all fours while the wheelchair is still strapped to their waist. The other is behind the wheelchair user and holding onto the wheelchair with one outstretched hand, while crouching down with one leg stretched behind them. There are a group of people of mixed age and gender in the background watching the performers.
