Tongue of Stone, A
|
|
Sound recording, story; A Tongue of Stone, a
performance combining wonder tales and myth, told by Sharon
Jacksties, accompanied by Jem Dick, at Somerset Rural Life
Museum, Glastonbury 18th November 2006
|
|
Story told in two halves by Sharon Jacksties,
with musical accompaniment by Jem Dick on replicated stone-age
instruments. Sharon Jacksties' description of A Tongue of Stone
is as follows - 'A Tongue of Stone was inspired by two stone-age
burials of children, one found on a swan's wing and the other
with a stone in its mouth the size and shape of its own tongue.
Whilst archeaology cannot explain these finds, oral tradition
reaches even further into our past, and abounds with stories of
swans travelling and stones speaking between this and other
worlds. Using replicated ancient instruments to create a live
soundtrack on stage, along with the most recent digital musical
technology, this performance traces a narrative journey from
hunter/gatherer to urban times and between worlds'.
