Morag, You're a Long Time Deid
Morag's death left a silence in her place. When her Canadian granddaughter Sam
inherits Morag's piano, Sam also inherits the mystery of her Scottish
granny's story. An intimate letter composed of fragmented ballads leads
Sam to uncover Morag's possible queerness and discover a voice of her own.
This dynamic, experimental musical is a love letter to ancestors who
"didn't fit" that playfully warps, disrupts and reconfigures traditional
Scottish ballad singing. Audiences are invited on a journey where original
compositions are interwoven with electronic loops to tell old stories anew.
