Moving freely from avant-garde events to traditional concerts, the Bozzini Quartet was recently qualified by the Irish Times as a “group which gets its teeth into music. Quiet or loud, fast or slow, these Canadian musicians play with compelling engagement”. Deeply devoted to music as a universal language, these four young artists fervently communicate their musical esthetics, transcending time and space – old music or new music, unknown music or famous music, strange music or familiar music.

Music by Juliet Palmer, text by Anna Chatterton, directed by Ruth Madoc-Jones, movement by Marie-Josée Chartier. Performed by Christine Duncan, Patricia O’Callaghan & Neema Bickersteth
From the abuse of the sweatshop to the fantasy of costume and the empowerment of sewing-it-yourself, the sewing machine has been a force for liberation and exploitation since its invention in the 19th century. Anchored in the sounds and rhythms of sewing, Stitch uncovers the emotional layers of the relationship between woman and barely-tamed machine. Hemmed in by the language of sewing and the inexorable rhythm of the machine, three women fight to find space for imagination and individuality.
