Innova is an experimental opera about cosmopolitan decay and resonantly colliding languages. Five vocalists maintain an extensive live/work space that becomes an urban grotto of revised and invented topographies. Sifting through a baroque landscape of objects, tools, and scale models of unusual landmarks, the performers transform the stimulus around them into intricate sequences of action, diagrammatic displays, and a vigorous instrumental score. Innova is performed in English as well as Turkish, German, French, Spanish, and Hebrew, with English supertitles.
Innova premieres at Abrons Arts Center May 13-22
produced in association with Incubator Arts Project
