Very Feral Today

Very Feral Today is a staged concert work for voice, cello, and pre-recorded text that investigates the act of listening, the intimacy of live performance, and the tension between personal narrative and musical abstraction. Developed collaboratively by director Marcus Shields, Duo Étrange (Sahara von Hattenberger, cello; Vanessa Croome, voice), and designer Frank Oliva, the piece blends recital and performance art, constructing an experience that invites the audience to forgo text and musical narrative and rather use the personal lives and revelations of the performers as the primary dramatic context.
