Step into a musical séance like no other — where the veil is thin, the music is wild, and the spirits of memory come roaring to life. Heather Christian’s “dazzlingly original” (Vogue) piece blends storytelling, requiem, and family mythology in a musical ritual made for sinners and saints alike. A journey into the haunted spaces of memory and loss, this transporting experience comes to Signature in a thrilling new production helmed by director Keenan Tyler Oliphant, diving deep into the relationship between the soul, the seen and the unseen. With her raucous, singular music fusing blues, gospel and folk, 2025 MacArthur "Genius" Fellow Heather Christian invites you to pay tribute to the forces that shape our lives.
