I am looking at you through my telescope
We are so far apart you might already be dead
I am looking at you in the circle of my telescope
You are far enough away to be held inside my head
End of Greatness is a new performance by friends and longtime collaborators Veda Hille and Maiko Yamamoto. Through songs and stories about moss, mushrooms, sisterhood, motherhood and a few big cosmological ideas, the audience gets swept up on a wild hunt — from the forest floor to the edges of the known universe. Join these two woodwives in an evening of performance about the very end of everything, and the beginning of something new.
Veda is a musician who has created many albums, musicals and hybrid forms of performance. A well known indie musician and local darling, she has composed music for theatre, opera, choirs, video games, and much, much more. Maiko is a performance maker and director whose works are known for their formal inventiveness and exploration, conceptual play and experimental rigour. End of Greatness proposes new music, writing, images, rituals and offerings; a generous sharing of memories, experience and knowledge, demonstrated onstage by Veda and Maiko, together with an audience.
Premiering Spring 2026.
