Cellista - Élégie

Cellista's stage poem tells the story of a blackbird who shapeshifts into human form and back. Élégie awakens one day in her magical tree outside the walled off city of Cloture to find its entire population has disappeared. In their departure, the citizens have left behind a city of altars, decorated with unlit candles; each containing the memories and mementos of the banished citizens.
