Polyphony: The Rip

With songs by Portishead, Kate Bush, Shaznay Lewis and more, The Rip is a concert about water’s mutability and permanence, its danger and allure.

Drama builds and subsides, colours shift, depth changes; from the sparkling ‘Pure Shores’ to the hypnotic ‘Song to the Siren’, this is a setlist that rides the current out before swimming us back to shore again.
