SONG SOCIETY - In Concert

An indie solo musical of selective remembering.
Written & Performed by Florencia Iriondo

Blending original folk-pop music with intimate storytelling, Song Society unfolds as an evening that lives somewhere between theater, truth, and an overthought decision. Award-winning writer and performer Florencia Iriondo invites the audience into an analogue world where an eccentric machine may or may not literally erase what has completed its run. Shortlisted for Best Edinburgh Fringe Show by the West End Wilma Awards, Song Society becomes an anthology of choices around love, friendship, and purpose that somehow get made without trying.

Book, Music & Lyrics: Florencia Iriondo
Direction: Jason Aguirre
Dramaturgy: Adam Mathias
Featuring
Federico Díaz (Guitars & Arrangements)
Agustín Uriburu (Cello & Guitars)

music & lyrics by Peter Mills
directed by Cara Reichel

When a downtrodden troupe of traveling players receives an unexpected invitation to return to the glory of the royal city, their world is thrown into sudden chaos. Can the show go on? Should the show go on? Can they reinvent themselves? As this chosen family presses onward, they are forced to face their troubled past... and uncertain future. Through a tuneful and character-driven score that blends wit and pathos, this original musical reflects on a life in the theater, and the human journey both on stage and off. Join Prospect for a concert evening from two of the company’s founding artists, sharing their newest work-in-process musical.
