– ‘The Soundtrack to Granada’: live performance by Shaun Sankaran + Natasha Noor, resident artists at The Unifiedfield AIR Programme in Granada.

With Granada’s beautiful historical architecture and the nature surrounding it, Shaun Sankaran and Natasha Noor collaborate to turn Granada’s vibe and feel into a visual and aural experience. The performance will be the communication of emotions, as well as spontaneous immediate responses of the surroundings, capturing the essence and beauty of the city.
