Growth of the Silk

The Growth of the Silk is the feted fable of a girl’s misguided wish for long lustrous hair which leaves her ultimately crushed under the weight of the unstoppable growth. combining music, dance and theatre 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. The duality between the fantastical styles and the themes relating to modern day ‘techno-narcissism’ and self-consciousness create a compelling and captivating premise that anyone can find relatable.
