Peel
(2025) 15'
Performed on 23rd September at the cockpit theatre as part of the Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival.
Peel is a surreal, comedic chamber opera for three singers dressed as bananas, who grapple with their looming fate as they ripen together in a fruit bowl.Their banter, anxieties, and dreams unfold in a tightly woven tragicomedy about life’s absurd impermanence. This short opera is a comic treatment of the search for transcendence, delivered through fruit.

Quando A Rosa Enxergou O Rio (When the Rose Saw the River)
(2022) 9'45''
Quando a Rosa enxergou o rio is an electroacoustic work that weaves together recorded speech and accordion improvisation. The voice belongs to my great-grandmother, Rosa Gonçalves, an 80% blind Brazilian woman who grew up in the early 20th-century countryside of São Paulo. In a 2012 conversation, she recalls playing in the woods with her siblings, wandering until they discovered a river — a memory reflecting resilience, and the courage to find one’s path in life.
Accordionist Neil Sutcliffe improvised over a hand-drawn map of the woods, responding to the places Rosa mentions in her voice recording. Material from both recordings were then explored, finding new ways to transfer their interaction.
