Each year an estimated 5,000 women worldwide are murdered by their own families in ‘honour killings’, 12 of them here in the UK. Silk Moth places onstage a Mother. This one-woman performance raises powerful questions: what is her role in this horrific ‘tradition’? Is she a victim, submissive, or coldly complicit?
Based on a series of workshops and interviews conducted in partnership with IKWRO, the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation, this new work by pre-eminent composer Bushra El-Turk tackles a controversial and sensitive issue, created by a team of internationally renowned artists and performers.

Rich Perks (fretless electric guitar), Andrew Hall (trumpet) and Tom Atherton (percussion).
As both a guitarist and composer Rich exhibits a keen interest in anything unusual, progressive and innovative. As well as being an active gigging musician in the commercial industry, he performs much contemporary, experimental and improvised music, specialising in fretless electric guitar.
The vLookup Trio is comprised of Rich Perks (fretless electric guitar), Andrew Hall (trumpet) and Tom Atherton (percussion). Together they explore pieces which combine pre-composed material with improvisation in styles that range from avant-garde noise to funk-rock, whilst also pushing the sonic possibilities of a trio instrumentation by incorporating effects and live electronics.
Last year Rich released an international call for scores, in conjunction with Colchester New Music. His aim was to explore the possibilities of the fretless electric guitar further; in the hope that through making relationships with composers, the full potential of this young and exciting instrument could be discovered and developed.
In this ground-breaking performance, Colchester Arts Centre hosts the premieres of five works selected from this call, juxtaposed with vLookup's sonic adventures.
Julia Usher : Turbulence
Tyler Minshew : Rhapsody No. 1
Phil Maguire : Elephants
Andrew Hall : Divisions
Josh Trotter : Deadly Sinner
