On Slack Tide is set for 15 November 2026 at The Pleasance Edinburgh. This new collaboration features musicians and poets, including Aurora Engine, JL Williams, Dean Atta, and Kirsty Logan, presenting a three-act piece that combines music, voice, and poetry to explore significant life transitions.
Definition: the brief period at the turn of the tide when the water is still. Closing the festival, we’re thrilled to share a new collaboration from musician Aurora Engine and poets JL Williams, Dean Atta and Kirsty Logan. This three-act piece fuses music, voice, electronica, poetry and performance in a singular striking soundscape that explores the transitions that shape our lives – pregnancy, birth and matrescence, coming of age, and death and grief – and the waiting, stasis and subsequent flurry action or emotion that often accompany them. This new work, specially commissioned for the festival, promises to be haunting and holding, magical and meaningful.
