"The border between ambition and hard luck is a blind spot." A curious and spectacular tragedy, We Are All Failing Them is a song cycle (with film and objects) performed live by a chamber ensemble, exploring what gets left along the trail to the Promised Land. This new work by composer Robin Holcomb, filmmaker Britta Johnson and theatre artist Curtis Taylor is a live sound and image collaboration - and a visionary work of the imagination.

Featuring live performances by Peggy Lee (cello), Danny Barnes (voice, banjo), Robin Holcomb (voice, piano) and Susie Kozawa (sound effects).
