Rian Treanor & Cara Tolmie

Rian Treanor and Cara Tolmie first performed together when Counterflows Festival paired them for a new commission at the historic Arches venue in 2023. Glasgow-born, Stockholm-based vocalist and performance artist Cara Tolmie brought her hypnotic vocal technique, Internal Singing — an intimate practice using breath, movement, and touch that explores the subtle binds between voice and body in an unsettling, engrossing sonic space. Rian Treanor’s richly innovative work provided a compounding counterpart: radical, rave-infused structures that bent and contorted around Tolmie’s incantation.
