Elaine Mitchener

Acclaimed vocalist and movement artist Elaine Mitchener gives the London premiere of Sweet Tooth.

This ambitious 50-minute cross-disciplinary music theatre piece uses text, improvisation and movement, to stage a dramatic engagement with the brutal realities of slavery as revealed by the historical records of the sugar industry, and to reveal its contemporary echoes.

The work was premiered in November 2017 at Bluecoat, Liverpool’s centre for the contemporary arts and later broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s Hear and Now programme on 30 December 2017.
