    For those in Peril on the Sea

    A group of children are rehearsing for a performance of Noye’s Fludde. As Britten’s storm builds, it escapes the score and sweeps them out to sea away from their homes, families and everything they’ve ever known. Will they find safety on the other side? A project in collaboration with the English National Opera.

    Director: Lily Ash Sakula

    Animators: Orkey Chang, Jorge Aguilar Rojo, Lily Ash Sakula

    Assistant Animators: Lea Pietrzyk, Kostandina Shahaj, Monica Scanlan

    Music from Benjamin Britten’s Noye’s Fludde with kind permission of Decca Classics
