The Fairies Sing Each to Each by Fey Nguyen is a musical about the monstrous and divine. Occupying many forms and modes, we’re pleased to release TFSETE in the form of an adaptable libretto.

“Love is choosing, the snake said.
The kingdom of god is within you
because you ate it.”

— Margaret Atwood, “Quattrocento”

THE FAIRIES SING EACH TO EACH is a libretto (opera script) about the monstrosity of divinity. Amadeus Vu is weak and divine, and in time, she'll show you where true divinity lies. In consumption. Amadeus is a mortal man who wishes to become Empress of Heaven, but what is ascension without a witness? Severin Lacandola is the Divine-Sighted mimic-gender of a man that Amadeus has chosen to See her. Inspired by NBC's Hannibal, but more aligned with neurodivergent, chronically ill, Asian-American, and queer and transgender sensibilities, TFSETE is an ambitious hybrid of opera, poetry, and prose.

WEAK&DIVINE EP by FEYXUAN, the original performance and musical composition of the Amadeus-centric songs from this libretto, is available through Grimalkin Records.

Someday, they'd like to create something that makes them feel like Revolutionary Girl Utena does.
