The Equinox Sound Baths
Highlights
- Experience soothing sound waves that envelop you in warmth and connection, promoting deep relaxation and emotional healing.
- Immerse yourself in a healing aural cocoon created by Bing/Santospirito's blend of piano, cello, and synthesisers.
- Reflect and restore in the tranquil atmosphere of the Theatre Royal, a perfect setting for personal rejuvenation.
- Bring a cushion or mat to enhance your comfort while you unwind and embrace the restorative power of sound.
Sound is restorative, a soothing balm to ease broken hearts, minds and souls. It can guide us through deep pain, loss and suffering to emerge reshaped. The right frequency can mend deep psychological rifts and envelope the listener in audio fields of warmth, care and connection.
Bing/Santospirito are Natalya Bing and Joshua Santospirito. The Equinox Sound Baths returns to the Theatre Royal for two more sound baths centred on concepts of grief and healing after selling out the performances in 2024. Equinox is the product of the pair meeting in 2022, where over a four-week residency they experimented with improvisational musical composition. As the pair coaxed new sonic pathways from their practice, they found their musical conversations returned to concepts of healing, grief and gentleness. The music became a safe space to care for fractured souls.
Over two sessions Bing/Santospirito will weave their healing aural cocoon from synthesisers, piano, cello, percussion and violin – a space for audiences to reflect, restore and relax. Listeners are welcome to sit, stand, move around the space, bring a cushion or a mat on which to sprawl.
