QUEEN HAVE & MISS HAVEN'T
Queen Victoria and Miss Havisham mourn their respective losses in a duet which enters the audience into a horror movie where every outcome is misery and destruction. The ultimate widow and the eternal bride fester in a landscape of vengeful misery; bitter antagonists united in grief. A monstrous modernist ballet set to Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony.
