My Luna Lab bestie Azalea Twining (@za_twining) and I wrote a piece together! It’s premiering on November 3rd at @nationalsawdust as a part of The Nebula Project Volume II: Helix.

Our piece, “No Roof, No Battlements”, is an operatic collage derived from excerpts of Jane Eyre. Because we, like @missymazzoli, are proudly obsessed with the suffering of women🔥

Thank you so much to @lunacompositionlab and @chamberqueer for commissioning us for this exciting project! by @cece.ols
