Overture to the Quietus

Inspired by the Sirens of Ulysses, and drawing on her Irish and West African heritage, Fehdah has composed and curated a selection of original and traditional pieces, with the world premiere taking place on the Manifesto Stage at MindField, Electric Picnic 2022. 

Together, these pieces constitute a reflection of the crossroads between cultural identity and Joycean thought patterns. Using alluring and fragmented soundscapes, they express Odysseus’s or Bloom’s dilemma of needing to belong, but resisting being subsumed by a narrow identity.
