Wingéd
A brash, fearless reinterpretation of three mythical beings: Icarus, Lucifer, and Phoenix.
Poetic, surprising and irreverent, Wingéd inspects and dissects relationships between fathers and sons, friends and lovers, predator and prey…and serves up a clarion call for the transformation of humankind.
In Sunstroke: Icarus Speaks, Icarus ruminates on sons who dare fly past their fathers. Lucifer works through the unexpected transition from favourite to feared in Red Eye Open: The Lucifer Illuminations. In Rise: Song of the Phoenix, a man answers an astonishing call in his right hip, and discovers the burning, yearning God within.
