Powder Down by Shadwell

LISTEN TO THIS ON HEADPHONES - this is necessary for the full binaural effect.

A journey through being lost and finding truth. The flutter of soft down wings, the crunch of leaves, the twisting groan of ancient bark. Footsteps mark a path through the forest, but is it a way out or further in? Three survivors traverse the borderline between arboreal and ethereal, as an atmospheric score poignantly uncovers the story of Sparrow, Wren and Crane in their search for freedom from the forest and each other. An ode to loneliness amongst strange company, the fragility of hope, and the bitter truth of choices we make to escape ourselves.

Shadwell is a music theatre company based in East London.

We share an audacious vision. A company that's creative, intergenerational, immersive, and expansive. One that subverts and shifts expectations rather than simply challenges them. That vision is Shadwell.
