** In collaboration with Re:Naissance Opera for Indiefest 2023 **
In tribute to this year’s festival theme, Future Mythologies is a celebratory showcase for the new works in development that aspire to redefine the future of storytelling, and become the myths of tomorrow. Through performance excerpts and facilitated discussions between artists and audiences, this event unveils the captivating evolution of three groundbreaking new works: “Eurydice Fragments,” “CHINATOWN,” and “Inferno”.
Eurydice Fragments: re:Naissance Opera’s AUREA award winning team gathers once more to fuse opera, dance, extended reality, and emerging technology in this contemporary version of the Orphean myth. Through an immersive exploration of our digital and carbon existences, the performance dissolves the binaries we are bound to from birth until death, and strums the threads between heaven and hell, male and female, maker and muse, performer and audience.
