Wild Mix, an immersive musical by Jenny Moore, features a queer ensemble of 5 singers, drummers, and a kickboxer. They are friends, lovers, colleagues, housemates. Through a soaring 6-part song-cycle, multi-layered vocals, intense beats, and poignant storytelling, it asks: What does healing feel like? At its core lies Jenny’s unique instrument: a transparent, water-filled boxing bag with a hydrophone. Weighing 50 kilograms and towering like a human torso, the bag fosters a deeply personal, corporeal sonic relationship, shaping our interactions to elicit sound—it's the soundscape's heartbeat. Rooted in communal singing, kickboxing, and drumming, Wild Mix embodies the daily practices of queer healing.

We gather ourselves up to create some kind of embodied, ritual "yes."

We ask - is it possible to sing yourself back to life?
