I’m making a cleansing paste:
fennel and clay from Thebes,
filings from an old coin of Athens,
an eyelash from Hélène Cixous,
tears from the enslaved women
of Troy.
Blood from each of you gorgons,
an olive,
and pumice.

You talk representation and then don’t include women composers or librettists? What kind of representation is that? I’m tired of #Manels. #NewOpera #MeetOpera #ManelWatch
