Sand, Silt, Flint - Fiona Soe Paing

The guardian "Startling Scottish balladry with a global scope" The scotsman "Evocative and eloquent" Music, myth and moving image converge in singer-composer Fiona Soe Paing's acclaimed Sand, Silt, Flint - a 50-minute immersive music-theatre performance bringing the rich folk futurisms of North-East Scotland to life through song Movement and film. Selected for the prestigious Made in Scotland showcase at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the production received four four-star live reviews before going on to two sold-out performances at Findhorn Bay Arts Festival. Rooted in the balladry and folklore of North-East Scotland, yet resonant with universal themes of belonging and connection to place, the show unfolds as an invocation of land and lineage. Experimental electronica, archival voices and traditional instrumentation combine with live vocals and evocative film to create a haunting journey through ancestral stories, landscape and memory.
