Selkie Poetry (Day 1)

The Selkie Poetry Reading is a combination of the poems and songs from the legendary duo, Beauty and the Beast (not the Disney version!), in a stripped-down, intimate setting. The Selkie Poetry Reading plays with the contrasts between rawness and fragility, lust and disgust, body and seal (soul). Cutting the crap away and returning to the core they invite you to a pornographic dystopian poetry reading that merges the beauty of darkness and the in-between. The poetry also moves in and out of a mythical landscape where Amanda and Halla shapeshift between seal and woman. They will bring their instruments and some make-up and you just have to lean back, listen and perhaps float weightlessly to the sound of their muffled, dark and epic voices.
