The Deer Rising is a celebration of perseverance

Description

In Autumn 2020, we announced that we would be creating our first-ever digital mini-opera, The Deer: A Story in 8 Chapters. Participants in our online sessions worked with director Emma Bernard, vocal leader Aga Serugo-Lugo and eight composers to co-create powerful lyrics, melodies and harmonies, centred around the story of a deer that is hit by a car.

Subject

“The Deer Rising” is the fifth chapter of this work. It focusses in on the moment when the deer, lying hurt on the ground, chooses to embrace courage, get up and overcome death. So when we decided to produce a digital performance towards the end of the last lockdown, this chapter seemed like an obvious choice.
