LATE JOYS is a one-off performance at the Linbury Theatre, part of the Royal Opera's Dark Nights series of one-off performances by vocal innovators and experimental composers. It is conceived by Elaine Mitchener, a contemporary vocalist, movement artist and composer, and devised with choreographer Dam Van Huynh, moving image artist Reece Ewing and her electro-acoustic group The Rolling Calf: Xhosa Cole, Jason Yarde, Mark Sanders and Neil Charles. The hour-long work unfolds as a reverberation of time and space, where presences are conjured through sound, movement and visual intensity, weaving between a shifting landscape where memory, inheritance and imagination converge. Drawing on the poetics of writers who have inspired Mitchener's practice, it invites audiences into new ways of sensing the past while reaching towards possible futures.
