The Chimney Swallows are a unique folk music duo and microtheatre troupe composed of songwriters Raghu Lokanathan and Corwin Fox. Playing music together casually, while working (& picketing) for the Victoria Public Library the friends discovered they had a mutual affinity for long conversations, song games and the stories of random strangers, & so began The Chimney Swallows. This is a real opportunity to enjoy a special performance by this unique duo as Raghu now resides in Prince George and Corwin on Vancouver Island, so it is rare to see them together, much like the avian phenomenon after which they are named.
The Chimney Swallows will be performing two plays and a short set of songs during Cowichan South Arts Guild's Spotlight Series at Shawnigan Lake Community Centre's Lounge, Oct 3rd, 7pm.
To create 'Cut Down' Raghu and Corwin memorized actual conversations they had with their elderly neighbours and used them to create a new conversation between two old men who never met in real life. 'Cut Down' is an exploration of aging and change, and gently touches upon the universal suffering and hilarity inherent to both. Please be advised there is some strong language.
'Has There Been a Time Since?' is a short play that leads the audience through a weekend at a music festival from the perspective of a veteran performer who is observing the experience they are having while they are in the throes of it.
