Dome Sessions: LYR

LYR combines the creative powers of British poet laureate, Simon Armitage, Grammy nominated songwriter and singer Richard Walters, and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and producer Patrick J Pearson.

After their sell-out spring show, LYR return to Market Hall in Plymouth, for a unique performance inside the immersive dome, bringing a mixture of language, music and moving image.

LYR will be supported by Rachel Gippetti, Rachel is a multimodal poet and researcher from Boston, Massachusetts who now lives in Plymouth, Devon. Her poetry explores the strange spaces between illness and health, and memory and material.

Her current poetry is set to soundscapes and music created from four cassette tapes from her childhood. This work reimagines inheritance, tradition and ceremony while challenging linear notions of time.
