Songs of Manyselves
Join us for the unveiling of a work-in-progress drama for six singers, narrator, and ensemble! The evening will feature new music and graphic poetry, written and composed by Sebastian Harmon Hutchings, exploring a non-linear narrative of their relationship to landscape and family heritage. Attempting a reckoning through shimmering beauty, the telling stitches together the ways that we frame ourselves, many selves living in a body, many selves living in a landscape.
