“A Woman’s War” tells the stories of women who had to flee Ukraine after the full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022. The effects of war are rarely communicated from female perspectives, and the impact on people outside of the front line is often overlooked. Kornélia and Natália conducted 12 detailed interviews with Ukrainian women, aged 19 to over 60. This production holds particular significance in revitalising the discussion around the Russo-Ukrainian War, that started in 2014, emphasising its urgency and contemporary relevance. Artistically, “A Woman’s War” takes inspiration from many traditions – including Ukrainian folk and choral music – and combines it with immersive sound design.
Festival Voices, directed by Gregory Batsleer, perform Anna Clyne’s Pocket Book LXV to open the award ceremony.

Bitter Visions: By Order of Hildegard is an R&D work inspired by Hildegard von Bingen’s 12th-century morality play Ordo Virtutum. This reimagining invites audiences into an immersive, meditative experience which fuses medieval plainchant with ambient electronic soundscapes.
Bitter Visions follows the demise of the Soul, who becomes estranged from her fellow Virtues after being seduced by the Devil. Through her journey, Ololyga re-examines notions of female desire and virtue, whilst confronting ongoing debates around sexual agency and bodily autonomy. Drawing upon medieval monastic traditions of chant and meditation, Bitter Visions invites audiences into a visceral and immersive sonic experience, channeling Hildegard’s belief in music as a divine and healing force that can bridge body, soul, and cosmos.
Miranda will play one of the three Virtues alongside her fellow Ruffians, Amy Kearsley and Hestor Dart.
