Moore’s poetry and writing were set to music by Tawiah, who is also a musician. Transforming Moore’s artistic expressions and words into music was not so much challenging as it was a process of learning and exploration. Tawiah says that the highlight for the two of them was when the chords and melodies for “Birth”, a song in the album, fell into place. It was then that they felt their respective crafts fusing together into something entirely new. “We worked like an actor and a director. The poems were our script.”

Tawiah, who’s based in London, says she’s excited to perform in India. As one-half of an LGBTQ couple, she says it is sometimes “intimidating” to present their work in spaces around the world. But they are both expecting to have a great time with Ertha. “I’m looking forward to sharing Ertha with new people, I think that is my purpose, to share music and connect. It is so powerful for me and I am always grateful for that opportunity,” Tawiah says.

Founded by architect and filmmaker Anuradha Parikh in 2013, G5A hosts theatre practitioners, musicians, dancers and more, as part of its ‘In Residence’ program. “G5A have been so supportive of our work and we can’t wait to spend time at their beautiful arts centre.” Tawiah gushes. “This will be my first time in India and I can’t wait!”
