FLOOD

‘The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,


The furrow followed free;


We were the first that ever burst


Into that silent sea.’

(The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1798)

 The programme explores our physical and spiritual relationship with the sea, from gazing at the distant horizon to the bodily motion of swimming, it also takes a dip into the darker aspects of total submergence.
