CelloWoman, a collection of original folk rock & soul in the cantastoria tradition, turns the story of Kafka’s Metamorphosis on its back.
Instead of flailing in the body of a bug after profound alienation from the center of his life, our heroine transforms into a cello by ceasing fiddling with other people’s lives and embodying in the center of her own.
Special thanks to Geoffrey Taylor, without whom this project would not have found its way out of clay.
