MIRAK
World Premiere: Diverse Works, Houston, Texas
December 15-18, 1999
Recreation as Music-Film Recital for Houston Composers Alliance: January 30, 2001 Shepherd School of Music, Houston, Texas
This surrealist sci-fi opera portrays the dramatic shift in the mindset of Romola, a cosmonaut abandoned on the spaceship MIRAK.
After seven years of orbiting Earth, Romola's physiological chemistry changes. She experiences a series of hallucinatory mental break-downs which enable her to reconfigure her reality and live as a new, mutated being. The audience is invited to a cinematic journey of the mind at the dawn of a century.
Created during their dance residency at DiverseWorks, the opera highlights AlienNation Co's multimedia, computer-driven conception of visual choreography, storytelling, and live mix.
