Midway through this performance of her piece Psalms, DJ, producer, musician, and electronic dance music artist AFRODEUTSCHE, aka Henrietta Smith-Rolls, reveals she's been recently diagnosed with autism.
Creating Psalms, she says, has been an exploration of self-discovery: "My journey of discovering love and new ways to love."
If a one-off festival commission is an opportunity to push out the boat she certainly sets sail for deeper waters with this ambitious, episodic piece which eventually marries up with the striking cinematography of Michael England. It certainly shows off the potential of this wonderful new arts space at Factory International.
