In the solo performance Songs of the Wayfarer, disabled choreographer and singer Claire Cunningham traverses landscapes of nature, stage and Gustav Mahler’s song cycle, led by the compass of crip* expertise and joy.

- I really love turning into this sort of four-legged creature. All the little places that you can wedge the crutch really right into a corner or into a crack. In Scotland, we’d say nooks and crannies. I get so lost in that sort of play…when the ground really becomes… my companion

Inspired, in part, by Gustav Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen led by her lived-experience as a disabled person, her memory of training as a classical singer and knowledge drawn from mountaineers and disabled peers, Claire Cunningham sets out to make a show where she traverses known and unfamiliar landscapes.
