PLU Presents featuring Flora Hibberd

PLU Presents continues to surprise and inspire - check out the sixth edition here

This episode of PLU Presents, featuring Flora Hibberd, arrives at a pivotal moment of lockdown-life. Seven weeks have passed; the spring is turning into lush summer, and people are starting to fray. This eclectic collection of music, dance, poems, reflections and rants shines light. Flora’s contribution: a heartfelt and melodious series of songs performed within an historic church, replete with stained glass windows.

“Like the light we drift and drift into the void beneath our feet.” Flora Hibberd

This week our offering is again bolstered by the videos from The 24 Hour Festival, featuring artistic innovators from all over the world who gathered in Paris a few months past for the L’AiR Arts residency. We are incredibly grateful that these friendships continue to blossom despite the impediments of quarantine, and the distance! Keep up the good work, inspiring friends!

“In the silence of your branches we hear your words” Teya Quarmyne dances for Mother Earth in the 24 Hour Festival’s, “Offering.”

Despite everything, our community flourishes, and you can be a part of it. We invite you to join this historical moment by emailing your work (via WeTransfer) to info@parislitup.com
