makemake presents: Wholly Unwinding (A New Musical) - NYC Premiere
About This Event
Live event at National Sawdust
About Wholly Unwinding The Canticle of Cerebral Palsy
At National Sawdust, VisionIntoArt-In-Residence and VisionIntoArt present *Wholly Unwinding The Canticle of Cerebral Palsy — The Songs of My Scars*, a country-leaning musical built from text as much as melody. The collective is known for pairing live music with literary sources, and this project extends that method into a narrative shaped by disability, memory, and the body’s record of pain. In a city where new work often arrives as spectacle, its focus on language and testimony reads as a deliberate counterweight. A specific NYC premiere history has not been publicly established.
