Morag's death left a silence in her place….
When her Canadian granddaughter Sam inherits Morag’s piano, Sam also inherits the mystery of her Scottish granny’s story. An intimate letter composed of fragmented ballads leads Sam to uncover Morag’s possible queerness and find a voice of her own.
Fresh from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, powerhouse duo of musical performers Claire Love Wilson and Sally Zori bring the story to life. Love Wilson deftly transforms into multiple characters, musically guiding the audience through a multi-generational odyssey of queer ancestral searching and dreaming. Multidisciplinary artist Zori adds their unique musical perspective as both a performer and musical director.
Bridging the gap between generations, Morag, You’re a Long Time Deid invites audience members to close their eyes and listen to traditional songs, tap their toes to Celtic grooves, and get up and dance to club beats. Lovingly crafted with inventive low-tech magic, original compositions are interwoven with electronic loops to tell old stories anew.
