Cherry Smyth: One Mountain: Sold
Irish poet, Cherry Smyth, presents One Mountain: Sold, a poetry and music performance of 65 minutes, that responds to a proposed gold mine that threatens to destroy an area of outstanding beauty in the Sperrins, Co. Tyrone. One Mountain: Sold laments the irrevocable damage caused by unchecked extractivism and vividly portrays resistance by local people. The piece also examines the relationship between colonial violence and ecological breakdown. She will be accompanied by award-winning Irish vocalist Lauren Kinsella and a soundscape by Dan Nicholls.
