“Cat's Cradles, And Other String Figures”
Penguin, First UK Edition edition (22 Nov. 1979).
The Cat’s Cradle Collective…
… is a flexible instrumental ensemble that takes its name from one of the oldest games in recorded human history - the cat’s cradle.
Using simply one string - alone, in pairs, or in groups - across times and cultures, humans have created figures, invented stories, and let their imagination soar.
As a collective, we aim to create performances that merge music with theatre, word, movement and other art forms into something that invokes that sense of intimacy, timelessness, playfulness and freedom of imagination.
Watch the Cat’s Cradle Collective
perform in the Royal Academy of Arts!
An immersive performance of Milhaud’s Le boeuf sur le toit, sounding like a carnival parade full of joy, and Sá-Dantas’ Maze of dripping Sirens creating a mysterious labyrinth of siren calls across the space of the museum.
