Trapped in an unhappy marriage, a woman mourns the devastation of the forest around her. An unexpected affair instigates an explosive metamorphosis, and she finds perfect release as a tree. But the world is a dangerous place for trees, and deep in the forest a student and a forester lay claim to a body of wood and leaf, one for money and one for love. Written in fragmented scenes, the narrative, led by three protagonists, is interrupted by poetic monologues and by visual AI visual incursions (Lorem), creating a oniric, uncanny context for the soloists to inhabit. The World Premiere of Like flesh will be at Lille on 21st January 2022, with Dutch Contralto Helena Rasker, English bass-baritone William Dazeley and Anglo-Belgian soprano Juliette Allen.
