CÉCILE MCLORIN SALVANT | OGRESSE

November 12, 2022 @ 7:30 pm ~9:30 pm EST

$29 – $89

She falls in love. She eats the guy. She dies.”

Jazz meets theater in Ogresse, a new musical journey of myth and song created by award-winning vocalist and master storyteller Cécile McLorin Salvant. With its dark, romantic “fairytale-like” story, Ogresse is a delightfully poignant and playful addition to Salvant’s, award-winning, eclectic body of work.

“There’s this monstrous vile strength in her, a little bit of madness,” Salvant says of the titular beast. “The songs are these beautifully matched beads on a necklace that hang together so well, conjuring archetypes and exploring matters of race and sexuality, and our fears and prejudices. It’s one of my most thrilling moments as a singer.”
