Hannabiell will present a showcase of new and reworked music that she will perform as a soloist, with her duet Ladies of Midnight Blue, and her band Hannabiell & Midnight Blue Collective.
This showcase will also feature a new stage design commissioned by visual artists Yilis Suriel and James Davoll along with a dance collaboration with Aida Diop.
During her Residency at Sage Gateshead she has explored and experimented with weaving narrative, improvisation, and electronics into her music to better express themes of identity, freedom, and protest culture.
