Notes from Shetland to Shanghai

  • Partickhill Bowling Club 46 Partickhill Road Glasgow, Scotland, G11 5BY United Kingdom (map)

Following her critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival, Sophie Rocks’ programme, Notes from Shetland to Shanghai, fuses live harp music with pre-recorded poetry to explore the universally human experience that is migration.

Drawing from personal accounts, both of those who leave and those who stay, this show takes you on a journey, exploring the emotions connected with immigration - fear, anger, sorrow, resilience, freedom and hope. Spanning over five different continents, Sophie combines music and poetry that not only celebrates her traditional Shetland roots but illustrates her love of all kinds of music. Through the celebration of our cultural differences, we find our similarities and connections are more than we know.
