A spokesperson says---
“…Shrouded in significance, the mythological Sirens roost deep in the collective consciousness, clichéd specimens of femmes fatales. Join these singing ciphers as they investigate their own origins, seeking – through the twists and turns of ancient literature and contemporary philosophy – a way off the island for good. Here Be Sirens blends beautiful music, critical theory, Aristotelian tragedy and screwball comedy to present these beloved monsters as real beings confronting an endless cycle of death and desire. Powered by a prepared acoustic piano played by the Sirens themselves, music is the only companion of these three lost souls, a world that blends soothing lyricism with icy chant and furious caterwauling, provoking us to consider what opera can be as they croon their way towards a powerful destiny..."
