Raed Yassin’s The Sea Between my Soul is a rock musical that uses taxidermy animals to tell the story of an ongoing violence towards human and non-human others. The lifelike but dead animals on stage, revived through human music, sing about the long history of death in the Mediterranean, whose most recent episode consists of the thousands of refugees that die yearly trying to reach Europe, a tragedy that is paralleled in this musical with animal extinction caused by human action. The presence of dead animals raises vital questions for a posthuman and human-animal studies approach to (musical) art, like the relationship between human and non-human animal deaths and their artistic representation. Because the morally acceptable practices associated with the display of dead animal bodies are wider than that for human bodies, The Sea Between my Soul proposes through music and taxidermy an instance of reflection on the visibility and materiality of death.
