SEE/UNSEE (In Development)
Book, Music & Lyrics by Lila Blue
Directed & Developed by Jillian Jetton
Dramaturgy by Ren Dara Santiago
Music Direction & Additional Orchestration by Noga Cabo
Lila Blue and their ten-piece band conjure a grief ritual from the work and imagined life of artist Hilma af Klint. Surfacing where Blue’s life overlaps with that of the pioneering painter and mystic – in queerness, in love, and in loss – SEE/UNSEE invites you (and any ghosts who might tag along) into a ferocious song cycle séance.
UP NEXT: We’ll be sharing a working in progress reading of SEE/UNSEE as part of the PRISM Festival at The Brick, June 18-22.
This iteration of the project will feature Lila Blue, Noga Cabo, Adam Cabo, Raquel Chavez, Caitlin Cobb-Vialet, Victoria Finney, Zoé Fonck, Aviva Jaye, Gunnar Manchester, Mia Pak, and Carmen Quill
