A silent show ... Karin Hougaard

no sound

no ground
looking down
on an alien sky

right foot no ground
looking down on an alien sky

a silent show

screaming stars
dancing dust
a deceitful red moon ...
 

Encore to thoughtful words, beautiful music and a powerful performance by Karin Hougaard in her show Alien Sky. What a privilege to have had a personal and up close chat to Karin at the end of her visit to South Africa. We chatted about her recent Alien Sky shows, play some of her new songs, find out about her passion for the environment and look at what the future holds.
