Un/becoming: a Pygmalion Story
@ Wicker Park Lutheran Church
1500 N Hoyne Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Saturday, May 25th, from 7PM - 9PM
Once upon a time, Pygmalion, disgusted with the unbecoming women who surrounded him, carved his own perfect embodiment of femininity. That domineering hand continues to sculpt today, using far more insidious tools than a hammer and chisel to create inflexible molds that reduce “woman” to a singular, acceptable archetype. un/becoming unites the voices of female composers and performers to challenge restrictive definitions of femininity and to liberate Pygmalion’s statue so that she may sculpt her own fate.
Michaella Cipriani and Harrah Friedlander, sopranos; Elenna Sindler and Ilana Goldstein, mezzo-sopranos; Alexandria Hill, violin; Denielle Wilson, cello
