Ep30: 🌕♒️Working on a Song: Unpacking the Liberation and {Hadestown} Vibes in the 🌿📖🧙♀️Theme
Manage episode 499176488 series 3676909
(This episode is inspired by and heavily discusses the 2019 Tony Award Winning Musical Hadestown.)
Why is Kristyn so obsessed with Hadestown, really? What becomes possible when we treat stories as animist beings? What can be gleaned in reviewing the previous year of the podcast, and what are we inviting for the next year? Can we grapple with the fact that TERFs can create meaningful art and can that practice help us navigate collapse?
Kristyn with a Why shares the story of creating the song for the podcast and in doing so essentially explains the entire musical of Hadestown, singing and referencing over 9 songs.
#hadestown songs and vibes:
-Wedding Song as Indigenous Wisdom, and the connection of creativity and spirituality.
-Wait for Me- Orpheus’ hymn cracking the wall
-Come home with me (reprise) The animism of stones who wept to Orpheus’ beautiful song
-Our Lady of the Underground The Stoner Story Witch theme, Psychopomp Persephone breaking the 4th wall
-Living it up on Top- May the World we dream about be the one we live in now
-Road To Hell- “It’s a sad song and we are gonna sing it again”
-We Raise our Cups: “To Orpheus and all of us”- Psychopomp Persephone breaking down the 4th wall again!
-Chant: How Capitalism conditions us to “keep our head low if you wanna keep your head”
-Doubt comes in: The Loneliness of the Creative/Liberatory Path
