small myth

Holly Robinson, Charlotte Fraser and Eve Allin Productions, 2020 - Composer & Sound Designer

Before, Katherine climbed Mount Everest.

Now, her daughter dreams of droughts, tsunamis and wildfires.

Katherine left her daughter to conquer a mountain. Her tales of nearly touching the stars became Kate's bedtime stories. Higher, further, beyond. Now it's time for Kate to climb her own mountain. A flight to Nepal will melt 8.7 square meters of Arctic ice, and she's crying in the juice aisle about buying single use plastic.

Blending movement, text & music, this work in progress examines a mother and daughter’s stories unravelling in the face of climate crisis, and what might blossom in their place.
