Immerse yourself in improvised music, poetry and visuals led by electronic musician Pouya Ehsaei and writer-performer Tara Fatehi, marking Refugee Week.

Water comes up. Water comes up. Windows. Water comes up. Water comes up. Nostrils. Water comes up. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six. CRY. SMASH. Did you close the door? Did you say goodbye?

From the Lips to the Moon is an immersive space playing with the synergies of words, melodies, languages and beats. Expect riveting live music, mind-bending beats, fierce poetry, absurd texts, hypnotic visuals, and non-stories told in goosebumps and half-familiar languages

The performance brings together state of the art experimental electronic music with a fresh and raw sound that puts listeners in an imaginative realm, with guest musicians, poets, VJ and DJ bringing in their unique languages, stories, tunes and cutting-edge live visuals.

Pouya Ehsaei is an electronic musician, composer and sound designer experienced at live performance and composition with acoustic instruments, spoken-word and performance.

Tara Fatehi is a performer, performance maker and writer whose work highlights mistranslation, ambiguity, disjunction, playfulness and unfinishedness.

This event is part of our London Refugee Week programme and Southbank Centre’s summer season You Belong Here, which explores how we create and foster a sense of belonging in our communities, our networks and with our audiences so that everyone feels that the Southbank Centre is a home away from home.

Presented in collaboration with Southbank Centre. Part of You Belong Here.
