"As a young girl, the medieval saint, healer, visionary, exorcist, and composer Hildegard von Bingen was locked in a cloister's cell after demonstrating a preterenatural sensitivity to the world around her. Sequestered with Hildegard is Jutta, a woman who has spent her life secluded in an effort to recover a whole self after deepest trauma. Under Jutta's guidance, Hildegard attempts to reassemble her own fragmented self while her mentor proselytizes a rejection of brokenness. In the green is a musical unlike any you've seen, an astonishingly sonically sophisticated saga of two exceptional women broken by the world and their journey of healing that changed history."--Page 4 of cover.
