This show is brought to you by the colour green. Jennifer Lucy Allan goes verdant with a meditation on the colour green from Tomoko Sauvage and Francesco Cavaliere, a spoken word piece by Fluxus 鈥榓ction-poet鈥� Robert Filiou and a ceremonial peacock dance from Cambodia.

For their new release Tomoko Sauvage and Francesco Cavaliere play a host of green instruments and objects to radiate colour into sound. For inspiration, they used a series of anecdotes about the hue: a chinese myth about a man wearing a green hat or the names of Japanese traffic lights. We also hear a performance by Fluxus artist Robert Filiou from 1977, who devoted his piece 鈥楪reetings from L, We Are All Green鈥� to the colour.

Elsewhere, Jen plunges into the deep end of her record collection to select an old favourite from street performer George Coleman, aka Bongo Joe, some early Cajun accordion from Harry Smith鈥檚 Anthology of folk music and music made by buoys and wind powered sails by Charlie Hooker.
