Nov 21 & 22 | Willilish’d by As and When

Wilillish’d is a new immersive production by Thule van den Dam and Hayley Sullivan McInerney, presented at DigiBC Creative Tech Studio. Willilish’d explores themes of memory, emotion, change, and motherhood through lullabies and nursery rhymes sung to Hayley by her mother. through a re-composed narrative soundscape. The title of the piece, Willilish’d, comes from a nursery rhyme that Hayley’s mother, Glad, was taught by her sisters, who made it up. Through creative design, quad sound, and archival elements, what was two-dimensional and in the past becomes four-dimensional and present. It lives at the intersections of design, music, and immersive theatre.
