Albatross

The Buckfever Underground and Darkroom Contemporary present Albatross, a journey through spoken & unspoken word. This collaboration combines movement with poetry to create a unique audio – visual performance.
For this show, the band will consist of Toast Coetzer, Jon Savage and Jane Breetzke (the latter two also collaborators in Toast’s other band, Simply Dead).

Darkroom Contemporary will accompany the band with an exploration of the music through movement.

The material performed in the Albatross show will take the shape of a 45-minute journey. Toast went on a sea voyage to Tristan da Cunha in 2013 and the show will trace themes he wrote about while on the journey and on the island, which is the most isolated permanently populated island in the world (it’s almost 3 000 km from Cape Town).
 
Hence the ocean, sea voyages, sea birds (and principally the albatross and its marathon gliding exploits to feeding grounds, and then back to a speck in the ocean where a mate awaits on a nest), oceanography, metereology and geography will become the background for love, long-distance relationships, people’s adversity against the odds and other human frailties to be explored against.
 
Doors open at 20:00 and the performance starts at 20:30.
