The One World choral theatre show
Helen created this unique piece of work to illuminate the crossroads at which the human race presently stands. It was a woven tapestry of original song and spoken word, accompanied by choreography and percussion. The themes which were highlighted were the relationship between man and his environment, the inequalities of wealth and resources, how we became empires, industrialisation and the cost of warfare. Ultimately the intention was to invite the audience to reflect, rather than prescribe solutions. And focus on what connects us as human beings, rather than what separates us.
Helen premiered the show in the Southwest in 2012 and then toured it to Hull in it’s City of Culture year of 2017 and then in London in 2019, selling out venues such as Rich Mix in Shoreditch and Conway Hall in Holborn. Helen had planned to bring it home to the Southwest in 2020 but was stopped by the lockdowns.
