Afrit Nebula presents Sleepwalk: The Dream of Lady Macbeth From the makers of last years acclaimed The Spirit in the Dust a new performance featuring dance artist Yanalle Ritter as Lady Macbeth, with music from the trio Afrit Nebula and lighting/moving images by film-maker Mark French. Based on an original concept and musical composition by Elaine Edwards, the piece re-imagines the sleepwalk scene in Shakespeares Macbeth in the context of the horrors of the present day: wars, famine, climate emergency. It references and evokes many other aspects of Shakespeares tragedy, not least the return of Birnam Wood at the end in this case Nature's response to humanity's ravages. Sleepwalk lasts approximately 60 minutes. Yanalle Ritter is a Belgian-British dance artist, born in the 1990s and based in Eastbourne since 2020. A choreographer, company director, teaching artist and performer, she is often involved in interdisciplinary collaborations, and has danced in art galleries, recital rooms, shopping malls, public gardens and even at a train station. Afrit Nebula (Elaine Edwards, Ken Edwards, Yair Katz) are a band whose adventurous, original music is influenced by avant-jazz, rock, Middle Eastern and Afro-Cuban styles. Matthew Wright in Jazz Journal said in 2022: Strong bass lines from Ken Edwards and Yair Katzs lively drumming form a bedrock on which the sinuous lines of Elaine Edwards soprano sax flourish, with Dervish-like circular excursions. Mark French is a director of arts and music documentaries. He is film curator for Hastings Coastal Currents Festival and Hastings Filmmakers. He has worked with artists Laetitia Yhap and Roland Jarvis and musician Trevor Watts as well as on many films and TV shows.
