NYMPH

A Daydreamer meets a Sleepwalker during an eclipse. Nature oversees their transformation. A musical about introspection, becoming, self-actualisation, and what it means to be othered. Luna and Sol's connection will guide you home to your inner knowing. A new musical in concert with a healing original score by accomplished actor-musician, Jennifer Trijo (Hadestown). The critically-acclaimed composer of ‘Someday – a Mindful Cabaret’ returns with a bold new work featuring a female-led, South-Australian creative team, and a cast of electrifying voices. Part allegory, part song cycle set in a fantasy realm, ‘Nymph’ explores philosopher Emerson’s insightful phrase “do not seek outside yourself”.

★★★★ “Trijo has formidable music chops as a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist” The Advertiser
