Touring

edit

Sey toured through Europe intermittently to support the album before, during and after its release in 2022 and 2023. This included several music festival appearances including Pitchfork Festival in London, Rewire Festival in The Hague and Le Guess Who in Utrecht alongside movement artist Maëva Berthelot. Sey was also the supporting act for three dates of Grouper's 2022 European tour [11] and collaborated with composers George Barton and Robert Ames to perform a special version of the album's closing track "Eve (Anwummerɛ)" with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Bluedot Festival in Cheshire.[12]

This was later followed by Sey's first tour in Australia in June 2024 including Rising Festival and Misellania in Naarm / Melbourne and Phoenix Central Park in Gadigal / Sydney.
