Program Notes

In an ancient seafaring adventure, an eel priestess and a sailing man come together in an otherworldly, mesmerizing encounter with eroticism, exploitation, freedom, and ferocity. With an iron eel rake and a bed filled with eggs and crow feathers, she stands at her ridge to watch the ships, and the sailing men who come for her.
