Manchester Collective: Weather by Gordon, Michael, Alkaen (2022/2022), South Bank Centre, London, United Kingdom

Four movements. Four countries. Four natural habitats, each shaped, scarred and transformed by extreme weather events. Written in 1997, this prescient musical tour-de-force transports audiences from the rainforests of East Asia to the world’s oldest desert, from an Icelandic glacier to a wild sea, eight miles off the English coast. Combining sound, visuals and immersive lighting, Weather takes on a new life in this electrifying performance by an unlikely band of artistic collaborators: Southbank Centre Resident Artist Manchester Collective; Chris Watson, the legendary field-recording artist known for his work with David Attenborough; and Spanish filmmaker and artist Carlos Casas.
