When Sarah was young her dad captured hours of cassette tape recordings in the family home. My Kin Blue visits the archives of this sonic world to trigger a candid physical memoir, where temperaments collide at the shrine of the nuclear family and kindred spirits unravel the nostalgic confusion of childhood.

“With the spirit of a memory play, Elsworth casts a wide net of devices to explore the past in My Kin Blue. Structured beautifully, each section offering a new vantage point to access the works slippery themes of memory...breaking into playfully ecstatic dance, the stuff of Dionysian rituals and clownishness, she leapt and hopped around the entire space... Speech, sound and memory all tangibly linked”
