about

The Sea-er began as a book of poetry and photography by Esther Tuddenham. The project was then turned into a spoken word production of the same name which included Esther's music, with a few guest moments by collaborator and Australian sound art guru, James Hullick.

There is much mythology in The Sea-er – which speaks like a fairy tale through a fractured narrative of spoken word poems and photography: Lilly – a young woman – is asphyxiated in a house fire and resuscitated by a divine paramedic. In that moment she is threaded with the powers of The Sea-er. A great goddess seeks Lilly out and issues her with a task.

Esther’s personal experiences weave through the tale, which itself stands within a much larger project. The Sea-er is one story within the Epic Topias saga. This epic consists of sonic theatre performances, albums, books, films, theatre, installations and visual art. The Epic Topias works have been created by a range of artists across JOLT Arts and Hullick Studios, including berni m janssen with the show ENA; The Amplified Elephants with show Deep Creatures & James Hullick with Le Scatterman. Epic Topias unravels the escapades of intergalactic beings and a decidedly human Australian family.
