Fortress (excerpt): We relate this idea of a fortress, a stronghold, something impenetrable, with the specific vulnerability and strength required to carry out the multilayered role of our Matriarchs. The shift of our perspective over time has created space to understand the complexity of their lives.
Here it is: Created in response to an ever lasting fear of death, Here it is acknowledges our brief existence, the animal in us, and the longing and pain we hold in a world where we leave one at a time. The duet was created as an experiment in making only an ending and then expanding the ending until it was a full-length work.
