Wilma Pistorius: Tales and Mutability
Tales and Mutability is a music theatre piece where voice, text, and movement meet. In this sneak preview (Prologue, Scene 1, Intermezzo), three characters—a Seer, a Pirate Princess, and a Trickster—each live in their own artistic world. When the Pirate Princess steals the Seer’s voice, their worlds begin to collide. Through live music, movement, and cassette tapes, the piece explores how we connect, transform, and shape the future together. The performance is followed by a Q&A with the makers.
