Lullaby – Sonic Cradle is an immersive music performance for family audiences and adults alike. The show has travelled around the world and is bespoke to every venue and festival that have commissioned Manasamitra to deliver the project. “Lullaby booths” provide an interesting and innovative engagement tool and builds audiences in the local areas and the performances that follow capture the spirit of that engagement. Lullaby is a brainchild of Artistic Director Supriya Nagarajan who lends her voice and works closely with sound artist Duncan Chapman to capture the spirit of each commission.
