Every year I forget about the wallflowers. Every year they appear.
The world hurtles and roars and it’s easy to feel lost in it and I am totally insignificant and so is a mayfly and yet… and yet.
Mayfly is a new dance work by Winona Guy exploring what remains of a moment, what lives and what is lost, in the fleeting and the constant. Things lie patient, things alter and things continue as they always have. In the seed and the permafrost and the child’s eye.
Featuring live electroacoustic music by Tom Parker.

Reviews:
‘A beautiful invitation to wonder together about time and our role in the wider family of living things, what we notice, what we value and what endures.’
‘exquisite, delicate, pulsing…’
