The First Wave and the Last - Part of Edinburgh Tradfest 2024
Berwickshire Coastal Arts bring you a reflection of what it means to live, and want to live, in a coastal community.
About The First Wave and the Last - Part of Edinburgh Tradfest 2024
Drawing on the cultural and historical heritage of an east coast fishing toon and inspired by interviews, photographs and video pieces recorded by local people, this performance shares experiences of living in Eyemouth and surrounding towns and villages before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic served to remind this community of its own resilience. Although isolated by the virus, they stayed connected through stories and conversations which were captured in a beautiful and evocative film The First Wave by Kate Sweeney and Roma Yagnik. The film is accompanied by further stories, songs and reminiscences.
This will be the final performance of the six-year ‘People and the Sea’ project. Part of this journey involved a production of Get up and Tie Your Fingers at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, which was the first time the community had performed outwith Eyemouth.
We are delighted to welcome the community back to SSC for this, their farewell and fare weel.
