about

In “Magnolia” Marena Whitcher and Andrina Bollinger portray the cycle and interplay of life and death, decay and blooming, digging in the earth, burying the dead, the call and response of nature. In their narrative, choral and clear, we teeter on the brink of losing Eclecta, as they seem to float away, out of the world into which they have cast themselves with all parts of their bodies, right down to the tips of their extremities. And then comes the retraction, away from the beat, releasing voices that expand and fill the vacuum left by grief. Moving through the doors Eclecta open for us, we are bid a farewell that also announces a new beginning: the Magnolia’s fresh blossoms.

lyrics

Magnolia, Magnolia
The wind was wise, the wind was wise
It taught me life, it taught me death
It took my mother’s final breath
Magnolia, I’ll wait for you
Magnolia, when do you bloom?

Morning came, morning took
The last page of her book
Sea splashing, tears of compassion
Old selves
Buried with my mother’s peace of mind

Magnolia, Magnolia
The time was wise, the time was wise
The night will come, the night will spread
I’ll plant a worm in this dirt bed

Now I strap you on my back
Your weight upon my innocence
I walk until your buds will rupture
The wind at my back will show me fertile earth

Magnolia, Magnolia
The night will come, the night will spread
The time was wise, the time was true
When will you bloom? I’ll wait for you!
