Overview
Across the galaxy, where myth and truth intertwine, the ancient legend of the Changeling is reimagined. A being living between two worlds, left in place of another, shaped by magic, yet never quite belonging.

Across the galaxy, where myth and truth intertwine, the ancient legend of the Changeling is reimagined. A being living between two worlds, left in place of another, shaped by magic, yet never quite belonging.
Axel transforms this myth into an intergalactic musical reflecting his own late in life transition from female to male. The work centres on the relationship between the before and the after. Historical mezzo vocals parrying with a newly formed baritone, creating a moving dialogue across time and space.
Through soaring harmonies, rhythmic soundscapes and playful theatricality, Changeling explores universal themes of love, inclusion, self acceptance and hope, a cosmic, pop operatic anthem of identity and the power of becoming.
Changeling is a one of a kind music theatre work blending original composition, storytelling, humour and immersive sound design. Performed live by Axel Starviking, the work explores identity, gender transition and emotional healing across time and space. It is heart warming, humorous and deeply human.
At its core is a rare live dialogue between the artist and his former self, alongside other virtual characters, creating a powerful conversation across memory, voice and becoming.
