Song of the Psychopomp: Voices from the Otherworlds

A psychopomp is a magical being that moves in between the worlds, shapeshifting, trickstering, and most of all serving as a guide for souls moving from one world to the next.

In this concert, music and text weave together a magical journey through the themes of death, change, and the otherworlds. Performer and creator Wendy Vastine serves as the guide, whose voice shapeshifts through different characters, stories and worlds.

Wendy Vastine is an Austin- based vocalist, actor, composer, writer, and more. Wendy also is a vocal coach who is especially interested in the voice as a manifestation of the soul. Wendy has worked closely with members of the Roy Hart Theatre (based in Malerargues, France) over the past 15 years and has recently been honored to collaborate with Generic Ensemble Company in Austin. Song of the Psychopomp is the music from a larger performance world, called the Psychopomp Project, another manifestation of which will be appearing in the form of a trickster's advice booth at The VORTEX over Halloween weekend.
