Drawing on personal experiences, original new writing and film-making underpinned by a live looped soundscape, Unnatural Cycles – A Ghost Story is a nuanced exploration of infertility, faith and what it means to bear the weight of inherited generational trauma.

Written, performed and original music by Avital Raz
