f you're the only one who's still around - All your friends are gone, or under the ground. - How come - you were the last - Remembering the past? - You just stand and stare - And wonder if it happened, were you ever really there? What's it really like to be an old man? Entering your seventh, eighth or ninth decade? 509 Arts presents the latest iteration of Sing & Louder Sing, their latest work exploring the inner landscape of the older man and drawing on the diverse voices of ageing men from the local area. The event will include script-in-hand readings, songs and projections and the launch of an accompanying publication, Sing & Louder Sing blends testimony, music, myth, humour, photography and the science of ageing to create an event where the older man is seen in a different light - human and exposed, a synthesis of experience and fortune, fate and accident; a biological clock that is inevitably destined to stop.
