HUSH: Michael Harding & Fohn
A midwinter's evening of presence through words, music and images.
A midwinter’s evening of presence, featuring the wisdom of bestselling Irish writer Michael Harding interwoven with the haunting soundscapes of Fohn – set against a backdrop of slow-moving imagery to evoke the stillness and beauty of the winter landscape.
Moving between reflection, storytelling, music and silence, HUSH offers a different kind of night out — an invitation to slow down and step briefly away from the noise and momentum of everyday life.
Across a series of themes, Michael Harding brings his distinctive warmth, wit, and wisdom to reflections on what it means to be human, while Fohn’s immersive music unfolds alongside large-scale, slowly evolving images of the natural world—creating moments when sound, image, and silence can simply be experienced.
An intimate evening of words, music and stillness for the darkest time of the year.
This event will last approximately 85 minutes, without an interval.
