Manchester Collective bring Michael Gordon’s cult work Weather to life in collaboration with BBC field recordist Chris Watson and filmmaker Carlos Casas.

Four movements. Four countries. Four natural habitats, each shaped, scarred and transformed by extreme weather events.

Written in 1997, this prescient musical tour-de-force transports audiences from the rainforests of East Asia to the world’s oldest desert, from an Icelandic glacier to a wild sea, eight miles off the English coast.

Combining sound, visuals and immersive lighting, Weather takes on a new life in this electrifying performance by an unlikely band of artistic collaborators: Southbank Centre Resident Artist Manchester Collective; Chris Watson, the legendary field-recording artist known for his work with David Attenborough; and Spanish filmmaker and artist Carlos Casas.
