The project involved collecting thousands of objects from people around Northern Ireland and asking them to write a story, history or comment on a luggage tag which was then attached to the object. The objects were then formed into a gigantic installation in T13, Belfast and the texts became the inspiration for a song cycle performed by the Ulster Youth Orchestra and a 300 strong community choir.
Over 2500 people visited NEST on the 21st July 2012 when performers and objects were brought together in a unique blend of concert/installation where audience members could wander through and discover the collection of donated objects while experiencing the hour – long performance of orchestra and choir.
