Confluence

An Eden Court Production
  • Talks / Special Events

Join us on a journey through Eden Court’s iconic building to discover five intimate live performances spanning music, movement, drama and dance.

Each encounter offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in someone’s life: stories of love and loss, motherhood and memory, heritage and belonging. Audiences are invited to witness personal worlds before moving on, mirroring the fleeting yet often profound connections that can shape our own lives.

Created for Eden Court’s 50th anniversary celebrations, Confluence is an immersive promenade performance exploring these moments when lives intersect and shape who we become.

In The Entertainer, written by Lewis Hetherington and performed by Steven Wren, we meet Charlie, a charismatic barman reflecting on queer love and loss. Sally Clay’s exploration of early motherhood is told through live song and immersive sound in Afterbirth. The striking illuminated landscape of PCK Dance's Postscript sees choreography and live music explore states of transition and change. A fusion of Gaelic music with the sounds and rhythms of India and Pakistan is at the heart of Resonant Ground, a collaboration by Anne Wood and Sodhi. Anataireachd Ard, from Sally Swanson, integrates live music and storytelling to explore love, identity and connection across generations.

Together, these performances celebrate connection, empathy and community – reminding us that while we each travel through life on our own, meaning is most often found where our paths meet with others.

Ticket holders should meet in the Eden Court foyer and will be escorted around the building, backstage and beyond, over the course of these five performances.
