Title: Only You Will Recognize the Signal
Venue and Format: Live Zoom Opera
Innovation: Zoom Opera. The team redefines the serial form with weekly 10 minute live revelations over 7 weeks, culminating in a 70-minute world premiere. Increments each Friday, October 29 – December 17, culminating in a full live stream showing on December 17. Formally, the seven-episode serial builds on the compositional flexibility, performer autonomy, and unexpected comedy for which the creators have been recognized.
The travelers aboard the Grand Crew, a very massive luxury emigrant craft, expected to remain in therapeutic hypothermia until arrival at their new home planet. Unfortunately, the technology has been compromised. Isolated in their pods, the unfrozen migrants find themselves entangled in a shared phantasmagoria that smells like sour gummi worms. Just as each fingerprint is unique, no two people’s dream lives can really mesh. But strange things happen in space, and between memory and amnesia lies a potentially fatal mystery.
