What would happen on earth after humans disappeared? This experimental opera inhabits a world where humans no longer exist. Experience what The New York Times calls, “…sly and sweet, wistful and winsome and altogether lovable” an ensemble of five vocalist/multi-instrumentalists guide the audience through the changes on Earth as forests grow back, new species evolve, and the human-made world erodes away. This work is a fantastical and playful exploration into the dire political and ethical contradictions that structure current human relations with nature.
