Vision
The music of the extraordinary medieval Abbess, Hildegard of Bingen echoes down a thousand years. Hear her testimony in this “mesmerising” (The Guardian) concertplay (where music and theatre collide) from The Telling, written by award-winning writer Clare Norburn and directed by BAFTA-nominated director, Nicholas Renton.
Amid the darkness of the Middle Ages, Abbess Hildegard of Bingen saw the universe in a dazzling light and spoke with an insight and a genius that makes her music and poetry resound down the centuries. Vision explores Hildegard’s extraordinary life as she relives her painful and visceral visionary experiences alongside her extraordinary music, haunting and distinctive chant, performed and acted live.
