Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!
Siren Song is an invocation of the greats to unwind the riddle of how to be a woman, when the women you wanted to be like aren’t real and the woman who raised you is disappearing before your eyes. If you’ve ever had an identity crisis, Siren Song answers the call.
In Siren Song, Dylan Jones, invokes acting icons Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and Greta Garbo to knock what being a woman should look like off its pedestal, with a little help from the myth of the Sirens and a ukulele. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!
