WIND RESISTANCE **SOLD OUT**

CELTIC CONNECTIONS - TRON THEATRE, 63 Trongate, G1 5HB, GLASGOW

Inspired by the autumn migration of pink-footed geese from Greenland to a peat marsh near her home, Scottish singer-songwriter Karine Polwart’s Wind Resistance - her first foray into theatre - was a sellout hit of 2016’s Edinburgh International Festival. By turns poignant and funny, poetic and thought-provoking, it’s a vividly powerful meditation on such themes as sanctuary, maternity, football, medieval medicine, human fragility and our relationship with nature, as Polwart interweaves traditional and original songs with spoken-word storytelling, framed by Pippa Murphy’s richly evocative sound design. “In the true tradition of folk music, a masterful piece of storytelling. . . poignant, unflinching and beautiful” (Telegraph)
