In Development

An opera based on a play by Lluïsa Cunillé about the intimacies and entaglements of a gentrifying city and the spectre of Fascism.

"The danger is you, and this council, and this hearing, and this senate and its polity..."

A performance. A collection of written fragments. Silences. And dancing.

This contemporary chamber opera is inspired by the life and times of William Dorsey Swann, a formerly enslaved
gender bending denizen of our nation’s capital.
