Gelsey Bell: [morning//mourning], Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A cry in the dark, gentle yet penetrating...sly and sweet, wistful and winsome and altogether lovable. ---New York Times

mɔɹnɪŋ [morning//mourning] is a performance text for an experimental opera that tells the story of what would transpire if all humans disappeared from Earth, starting in the present day and moving to 1.6 billion years into the future when life can no longer survive on the planet. Five characters 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.
