The feted fable of a womans misguided wish to escape crushing pressure to fit into the social structure of her world. Succeeding in this, she realises her wish was a mistake, leaving her ultimately crushed under the weight of the unstoppable growth of her new beautiful locks. Exploring themes of societal pressure, adhering to beauty standards, as well as challenging these ideas that affect us. The intimate ensemble features just two performers of Soprano and Dancer with a small ensemble of guitar, bass, and percussion. The opera seamlessly moves through a fusion of light lyric soprano and contemporary, Latin enthused choreography as the characters explore themes of techno narcissism and fairy tale escapism set to a sparse Brechtian set, nothing more than soundscapes, lighting, and a barbers chair.
