Growth of the Silk is an original fairytale about a girl’s misguided wish for long lustrous hair which leaves her ultimately crushed under the weight of the unstoppable growth. The work is a multi-media opera. It combines music, dance and film on stage. Drawing on Latin elements of music and movement, the surreal story sets out to create a fabled fairy tale for the modern day. The piece features just two performers of Soprano and Dancer and an intimate ensemble of guitar, bass and percussion.
Produced by William K.z.
