The Sound of Tea

Manasamitra – a West Yorkshire-based artist-led company brings you Synesthesia: Camelia Sinensis –a show about the story of tea. New live music mixes with lighting and soundscapes, participatory tea rituals and ambisonic technology, which captures the audience’s emotional responses in the performance space.

Creator Supriya Nagarajan uses her experience of synesthesia to explore the interplay between sound, sight, smell, taste, and touch. This brand new work builds on the company’s ongoing exploration of multi-media presentations; this time directly engaging the audience in a musical interpretation of a tea ceremony.
