About the Performance
Willilish’d is rooted in recordings of conversations between Hayley Sullivan and her mum in which they try to recall the words and melodies of songs from Hayley’s childhood.
By re-composing, lovingly bastardizing, and distorting nursery rhymes and lullabies, Willilish’d embraces and confronts the inherited structures of care, gender, and language that lullabies carry.
What do we inherit, and what do we make? What happens when we grow up?
Willilish’d is for all who sang to us, and all those we sing to.
