In Sun Songs, a new musical work by Katie Madison, suns...stars...characters...bodies...explore their relationship to the natural world to investigate where they are in hopes of understanding where they’re going. Through song, scene, and spoken word We lift off to get a little closer to landing exactly where We were always supposed to be.
