Winterlong

Perhaps you know what it’s like to crawl under the blankets in February and rot, waiting for a spring you can’t quite believe in.

For the past two years the musicians and theatre artists of Winterlong (originating from AVLT’s Ghost Quartet ensemble,) reached for that feeling in song, creating a song cycle that takes an audience deep into the long nights of winter and back out again.

Structured around the work of stalwart Columbus performer and songwriter Drew Eberly, aided by a collection of local musicians, Winterlong grasps at stuckness, anxiety, lost love, and the loneliness of heartbreak.

The artists will sing their way through a chamber folk theatre performance full of lush harmonies, a three-piece band, poetry, and choreographed movement. Winterlong expresses the deep yearning for connection that all humans must cope with throughout their lives.
