Buried secrets, double meanings and encrypted emotions from England's most turbulent century. Curated by VDB Artistic Director Julia Fredersdorff, this fascinating program traverses songs by John Dowland, witches dances, hop-soaked protest songs from bawdy taverns, new settings of the propaganda-laden Broadside Ballads, and more. In typical VDB style, Cloak & Dagger recontextualises these songs for the modern day, opening a portal into the hearts and minds of people in an age of political turmoil, religious upheaval and social revolt - all themes that continue to resonate today.
