Event Outline

Sunday Mass and sea swimming; bird alphabets and stone collecting; Goya and Monet; the Stations of the Cross and the Sacred Heart of Jesus; bedrooms and bedsits; insomnia and parental love.

Ultimately, it’s a show about our obsessions and passions – the multitude of rituals that fill our daily lives with meaning.
