Musicians from Lau, Portishead, Mogwai and The Unthanks to premiere a multimedia show at Edinburgh International Festival before embarking on an eight-date UK tour.

Includes stop-motion animation from Edinburgh-based, BAFTA winning writer/director duo whiterobot.

Features original music by Martin Green and lyrics from Karine Polwart, Anaas Mitchell, Sandy Wright and Aidan Moffat.

Featuring some of today's most influential musicians, this visually rich production explores themes of migration through darkly atmospheric songs and breath-taking stop-motion animation.

Award winning composer and Lau's visionary accordionist Martin Green brings together Portishead's Adrian Utley, Mogwai's Dominic Aitchison and Becky Unthank from The Unthanks, with BAFTA-winning animators whiterobot (Will Anderson and Ainslie Henderson) for this extraordinary live show.

FLIT is inspired by first-hand stories of human migration, some heart-warming, others heartbreaking and features songs and original music by Green with lyrics from Karine Polwart, Anaas Mitchell, Sandy Wright and Aidan Moffat.

Set within a captivating animated world and a haunting sonic landscape, these exquisite songs are performed by a world class band fronted by the inimitable voices of Becky Unthank and fresh new talent Adam Holmes.

FLIT will open at Edinburgh International Festival in August and tour to Gateshead, Buxton, Bristol, London, Poole, Leeds, Brighton and Shetland in October/November 2016.
