Past Event

Over six months of interviews with a two year old child, Librettist and Director Poppy Burton-Morgan has woven an entirely verbatim libretto which award-winning composer Laura Bowler has scored for soprano and percussion. Following a day in the life of a two year old, the piece both explores the constructs of gender identity and provides insight into the interior world of a toddler. Starring non-binary soprano Alexandra Bork.
