hum: in Victoria BC | 1pm showing

Be still; a soon-to-be Mother is building her nest. An imaginative sound world draws you in as a female “Anna’s Hummingbird,” prepares for new life.

hum is a new pollinator-oriented micro-opera,  blending electronics, vocals, and poetry en plein air. Soprano Anna Bigland-Pritchard (Gay4Nature Collective’s Green, Rick Waines’ i am beauty, and looping project rose house) and composer Jami Reimer (Soft Tongues, and Here You Are Singing) are building a sonic & visual nest to nurture & delight.

Where to meet:

Please meet before 2pm at the Gorge Waterway Nature House. A Gorge Waterway Action Society guide will lead you through the Sherwood Park on a birdwatching tour. Tour begins at 1pm sharp!

Accessible/less walking entrance: directly from pavilion parking lot to the Sherwood Forest (Gorge Esquimalt Park)

Come early - this opera is so tiny that you might miss it if you're late!
