OLD QUEEN AND THE SEA Splatterpool Artspace138 Bayard St Brooklyn, NY
This Wagnerian chamber opera, which melds aspects of experimental theater and performance installation, re-imagines the classic tale of Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea". In this story, we explore the idea of the self and the landscape of the open sea as environments of isolation. All is not what it seems when here, we find that one is never truly alone. The two characters, the queen, played by Kyle Kupres (violin) and the fish, played by Arman Alpyspaev (viola), meet and fall in love under unlikely circumstances. Together, the characters explore their new relationship and the new rituals that define it outside the bounds and mandates of normative society.
