About this performance
A fierce band of Seattle-based artists presents an intensely visual, music-driven theatrical event. Predator Songstress is a modern-day fairy tale of an anti-heroine in search of her stolen voice, set in a world where the tools that are used to stifle and control are appropriated as means for individual realization. Prepare your eyes and ears for otherworldly visuals, gorgeous vocals, incredible costumes, merrily creepy earworms, and a singular butoh-meets-anime vision.
In conjunction with the work, Degenerate Art Ensemble (DAE) collaborated with Seattle's Path With Art and San Francisco's Central City SRO Collaborative. During workshops with individuals recovering from homelessness DAE and participants explored the power of 'voice' in their lives. These participants were integrated into the performance as audience interviewers during intermission, the resulting stories were then woven into the second act of the live performance.
