Photo Flash: Fish Songs LIve! Presents World Premiere PHILIA
Fish Songs Live! opens its premiere show, an electronic fairytale musical, PHILIA with book by Evangeline Crittenden, music and lyrics by Nick Rattray. Based on the short story by Bay Area author Traci Chee, this new musical explores sexual freedom, coming of age, and slut-shaming. Check out photos from the production below!
PHILIA is Helena''s story, from a naive young girl who discovers she has a magical power, into a young woman who is firmly planted on the road to adulthood, self-empowerment, and balance. The show mixes "real-life" elements like high-school, stepmothers, and salons with magical realism and the fantastic.
Having performed to sold-out houses at the SF Fringe Festival in 2013, the collaborative team of Evangeline Crittenden, Traci Chee, and Nick Rattray have worked for two years to develop the show into a full-length modern electronic musical. Replacing a traditional band or orchestra with synthetic and electronic music, Nick Rattray has added a darkness and crispness that will draw audiences further into this magical and mysterious world.
