Liz Hall: this New Land She Has Reached

10/12/2015

The first showing of a new performance by artist Liz Hall using spoken word and visual imagery, based on the experience of being a a parent to a young woman who has a learning disability.

With the aid of sign language, William Hartnell, a pack of wolves, a pack of cards and some trolls, a highly personal story is told which also speaks to a shared experience of how we cope with dependency and autonomy, and the contradictions of letting go.
