About:
After an acclaimed premiere at Steppenwolf Theatre, prolific
performance-artist Lindsey Barlag Thornton brings flights for future
generations to Edinburgh – a solo performance drawing from the history of
women aviators and spiritualists. Interweaving stories of flight with
mysterious encounters, this piece layers movement, text, sound and imagery
with analogue devices to explore our longing for ascension. Archives,
dances and confessions arise, all supported by a cassette player's
soundtrack. As lo-fi intimacy collides with a séance, flights for future
generations charts a course between our faith and uncertainty where the
body becomes both aircraft and altar. (Family-friendly).
