Emily Wells - Mirror Father - a workshop performance
Calendar
About this event
For the past several years Emily Wells has been knocking on the of an opera. Each year the cracks open a little wider, the story gets louder, and the collaborators become clearer. This opera is a story about remaking the past in order to understand, and perhaps change, the future. It’s a conversation between a “mirror father” living the life he might have lived had he come out in the early 80s instead of living a closeted life, and his “phantom daughter” who he begins dreaming about. The two discover overlays: their queerness, their art, their relation to capital and its effects on community. At the center is each one's desire to have a child but choosing not to due to their fears of the end of the world, his AIDS, hers climate catastrophe.
