As a part of The Vault’s inaugural season SATE and the Polaris Music Prize brought an intimate, one-night experience to The Vault—an offering so resonant it returns as a four-night run directed by Djanet Sears. The Listening is not a traditional concert but a living ritual—an intimate weaving of music, movement, story, and unfiltered thought. 

Emerging from the creation of her debut theatrical work, the evening explores the threads between mothers and daughters, the living and the beyond, memory and myth—tracing the unseen lines that shape who we are and who we are becoming.
