An Anatomy of Melancholy

Barbican Centre · Silk St, Barbican, London EC2Y 8DS

16 September 2026 - 20 September 2026

Iestyn Davies' ethereal countertenor moves through haunting visuals and bittersweet music drawn from Robert Burton's 17th-century study of grief, in an intimate theatrical meditation at the Pit. The sorrow comes in waves; the beauty does too.
