About this event
Part of Sonica Glasgow 2026 Scottish premiere “Her voice is a spectacular thing: a cut-glass vibrato that brings to mind ANOHNI, or the unearthly tremble of late-period Scott Walker” – Pitchfork Set in a darkened, ambiguous space, Hand To Mouth To is a mysterious performance: somewhere between slam poetry, spoken-word performance and religious ceremony. Lauded singer Keeley Forsyth has enlisted artistic collaborators to expand and rework her Hand to Mouth EP of 2025 for this reimagining, which includes on-stage cellist Colin Alexander and pianist Matthew Bourne, plus sonic interventions from Ross Downes. Excerpts from a specially commissioned response to the EP by novelist Jean-Baptiste del Amo slither in and out of a performance moving from starkly intimate to soaringly remote.

This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.

Same kind of night (theatre) in Glasgow. Spread across the week, not a ranking.

Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
