Gardez L’eau
Set in the 300+ year old Southampton heritage site God's House Tower, Gardez L’Eau brings to life hidden stories of the building's inhabitants through its many past lives while
channeling secrets of those who traversed its nearby seas. These are stories of trade,
colonialism, slavery, piracy, war and more, forming rooted bonds to the likes of the
Caribbean and Spain. These themes are woven into the film through sound, costume and movement.
