Visionaries: a multi sensory experience

About

Experience Handel/Milton's L'Allegro Part I through all your senses other than sight. Enter into the historical hall of The Vache house to hear our singers and orchestra perform this beautiful piece, and allow expert multisensory guides to create a heightened world of smell, touch, taste, and movement. Individual requests and sensitivities will be taken fully into account. Featuring soloists Sarah Gilford, Victoria Oruwari, Frederick Jones and Malachy Frame.

This project is a collaboration between Vache Baroque, Milton's Cottage and BitterSuite, gathering a highly experienced and brilliant team of multi-disciplinary creatives. Both Milton and Handel continued to create great art after they lost their sight. This project celebrates Buckinghamshire's heritage as the birthplace of the Paralympics, as well as highlighting Deafblind Awareness Week 2024. All aspects of the project have been co-devised with artists and local residents with vision impairment, as well as with specialist MSI teachers.

Grounds will be open from 12pm until 8.30pm both days; the VB bar will be serving refreshments and guests are welcome to bring picnics. Guests will experience our signature pre-show installations, followed by a blindfolded multi-sensory performance lasting c. 45 minutes.
