Quarantine : The Soldier's Song Tues 9th - Thurs 18th Feb
Mon-Fri 9am-4pm : Axis Open Space : Free

The Soldier’s Song is an installation from Quarantine made with and about currently serving soldiers. Developed over an 18 month period of conversation and questions, The Soldier’s Song offers an intimate screen karaoke liaison with a currently serving soldier.

The Soldier’s Song challenges our preconceptions about soldiers and asks us to ponder our connection with them, inviting us to duet with an individual who might fight in our name. It’s a simple, quietly provocative piece that asks us whether we’re willing to remain an audience.

Based in Manchester, Quarantine make and tour work, nationally and internationally,that looks at the here and now, asking tricky questions about the world and how we live. Each project occupies a bespoke form – from intimate encounters to epic events.

‘a truly wonderful company that uses the lives and experiences of real people as the starting point for all their shows’ The Guardian
