The Wild Beast of the Bungalow is a triptych of short chamber operas (Mermaid in the Jar, Prairie Dogs, and Fine and Dandy) The libretto is by Royce Vavrek, based on and further inspired by Mermaid in the Jar by Sheila Heti. The Wild Beast of the Bungalow takes place entirely within an eleven-year-old Girl's bedroom as she overhears her parents' volatile conversations. Over the course of a few days, a mermaid, a family of stuffed prairie dogs, and singing groups of chicken pox and shingles force her to confront what it means to care for others and be cared for herself.
