The Quiet Earth Beneath

The Quiet Earth Beneath

Casey Jay Andrews and Jack BrettProfessional company

60 minutesThe Dissection Room
An earthy, delicate and devastating concept album about things that vanish; a strange, rich and lyrical exploration of ritual and the underland. Fringe First-winning writer Casey Jay Andrews and musician Jack Brett fuse spoken word and urban legend with music and experiments in sound. It's a descent into the darkness of a cave in South Wales, an attempt to piece together broken fragments of porcelain, and a rite of closure. 'Into the underland we have long placed that which we fear and wish to lose, and that which we love and wish to save' (Robert Macfarlane).
