End of Greatness is a new multidisciplinary performance by friends and longtime collaborators Veda Hille and Maiko Yamamoto. Through songs and stories about moss, mushrooms, sisterhood, parenthood 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. What are the systems that are taking us down? What are the systems that are keeping us alive? Is cake at the centre of it all? 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.
Created by TR’s Artistic Director, Maiko Yamamoto and Associate Artist, Veda Hille with collaborators Geoffrey Farmer, Hitoko Okada, Katarina Skår Lisa, Deb Chachra, Thom Gill and Julia Chien.
