Lisa Fannen

Long poem, ritual theatre, ceremony. Join us as we peform Return, a piece for four speaking voices, a string quartet, pipes, drums & dance.

Govan & Linthouse Parish

Return is a piece for four speaking voices, a string quartet, pipes, drums and this year also masked dancers. It’s an exploration into where long poem, ritual theatre and ceremony meet.It weaves together and layers up text, music and performance as a celebration of the wheel of the year, of emerging and receding, and the common ground of death and renewal that unites us regardless and inclusive of all faiths and heritages.It speaks of cycles and returns, of seasons, elements and the beyond human realms and rhythms; of expansion and contraction at our base and at our back that refuses the violence of fractured whiteness, patriarchy and linear consumer capitalism. It is a meditation on the need to both mark and lose all track of time; how we inhabit the greater whole and have it be frame, container and guidance.Return was performed in the round, and by candlelight in Govan &amp; Linthouse parish church, over the full moon (occurring at 9.24pm) on Saturday October 28th 2023, and will be performed again, in this expanded version with dance this year, exactly a year later, on Saturday 26th October 2024.Doors: 19.00. Performance: 19.30-21.00.The venue is wheelchair accessible, including an accessible toilet.Performance suitable for ages 13+Please spread the word!And if you can please lend extra support to this performance which is unfunded this year!For more information &amp; updates: lisafannen.uk/return
