A work-in-progress performance of award-winning Irish composer Emma O’Halloran and librettist Naomi Louisa O’Connell’s A Mass for Women in Bathrooms. With three singers, an actress, and electronic sound design by Alex Dowling, this opera-theater work reframes the structure of the Catholic Mass to tell an intimate family story of three sisters and their mother.

A story born from personal experience, A Mass for Women in Bathrooms examines themes of infertility, reproductive rights and dementia, while reclaiming bodily autonomy for women in a historically violent space.

Featuring Brennan Martinez, Chase Sanders and Sadie Spivey.
