Description : Keaton Henson’s Six Lethargies - Live at Sydney Opera House | Digital Season

Immerse yourself in Keaton Henson's extraordinary Six Lethargies – a beautiful meditation on the musician's own experience as a chronic anxiety sufferer. This unique audiovisual experience used data from previous audience members – hooked up to biometric sensors – to give real-time responses to the music, which was capable of altering the visual and lighting design during the performance itself.

Plus ahead of the full performance tune in for an exclusive recorded performance of Henson's latest single 'Husk' from his forthcoming album Monument, which Keaton says is "about waking up and realising that you’ve aged. That time, the traitor, has taken from your best years, the ones where your bones didn’t ache and you could make it through the day without questioning existence."

-

A singer, songwriter, composer, and illustrator who rarely performs live due to chronic anxiety, Keaton Henson emerged in the public sphere in the early 2010s with the critically acclaimed debut Dear. Originally self-released in 2010, the word-of-mouth response to its anguished, uncommonly intimate guitar songs led to a Sony reissue in 2012. He quickly expanded his musical palette, mixing in strings and full-band arrangements to 2013's Birthdays. After venturing into electronics for an eponymously titled 2015 release under the alias Behaving, Henson's seventh album, 2019's Six Lethargies, was an instrumental work for string orchestra that explored themes of mental illness.
