Likened to the work of Angela Carter, the poem takes a dark look at the role of women through time and the effects of colonialist and capitalist behaviours on people and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its original showing in 2013, the poem has been reworked by  writer, Elisabeth Charis, in close collaboration with editors, Inua  Ellams and Hannah Silva; acclaimed animator, Emma Reading; award winning  musician\/composer, Steve Tromans; renowned percussionist, Mark  Robertson, and sound artist, Soesen Eden. The finished piece is a  negotiation of music, animation, sound and language exploring how  stories respond to and create cultural identities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can see much more about the project and read some reviews<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/edenreborn.org\/\"><strong> here.<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch the film poem here. \u2018Eden Reborn [is] both a fascinating and beautiful journey through a story that resonates so much with todays society.
