Performer Avital Raz returns to Preston with a unique, hard-hitting theatre show exploring issues of infertility and faith.Unnatural Cycles: A Ghost Story comes to The Continental, Preston, on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, as part of a national tour.
Jerusalem-born singer-songwriter Raz has continued her work in theatre with Unnatural Cycles: A Ghost Story which uses performance, music and video to explore hugely personal issues.Raz, who spent several years living in Preston and was heavily involved in the city’s music scene, used old tape recordings of her grandmother talking about surviving the Jewish Holocaust as part of the inspiration for the show.
The show is directed by Gillian Lees of Lancaster-based Proto-type Theatre, with dramaturgy by Peader Kirk and Lees. Videography for the show was done by Preston-based Chris Davis. Unnatural Cycles was developed during 2021 through commissions from Sheffield Theatres, Contact, Lancaster Arts and National Lottery funding.Avital studied at The School of Visual Theatre in Jerusalem, before embarking on a 20-year career as a singer-songwriter and musician. After completing degrees in Western Classical singing and composition in Jerusalem, she relocated to Varanasi where she stayed for six years to study the sacred art of Dhrupad under Professor Ritwik Sanyal.
