    About Wholly Unwinding (A New Musical)(musical)

    Now playing at National Sawdust in Brooklyn, *Wholly Unwinding (A New Musical)* arrives as a dance-forward work that treats the body as its primary narrator. Featured performers include makemake, moving through a score and structure that read as much like choreography as storytelling. In a city where new musicals often announce themselves through book and belt, this piece shifts the emphasis to physical vocabulary and ensemble presence. Its NYC run adds to National Sawdust’s role as a venue where hybrid forms are tested in public, not in workshop.
