This immersive opera, which mixes traditional performance with cutting-edge technology and emerging neuroscience, draws narrative inspiration from Sophocles classic tragedy Oedipus Rex. Elli Papakonstantinoua 2018-19 Fulbright Artists Award recipient, visiting scholar at Stanford University, and 2018-19 Music Theatre Now international award recipientcreates her own visually striking, lyric adaptation to engage audiences in a new and radical way. Using new technologies which turn the audience into the actual chorus of the opera, the piece rediscovers the community at the heart of a political performance, as it was in ancient times.Mythology, pop cultural references, and gender reexamination feed into this unique theatrical mash-up, as an all-female acting ensemble of opera singers and jazz vocalists join forces with musical virtuososlive augmented cello, piano, and new instrumentson stage for a deep-dive into a haunting mind game.Partly developed during the directors stay at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University, OEDIPUS: Sex with Mum Was Blinding also sees artists and scientists joining forces on a new neuroscientific case study. The study asks: Are we free? D we experience free will? Are there real alternatives, or is all that takes place the outcome of necessity? An exploration into determinism and self, the answers describe either our majesty or captivity.

This event is presented by ODC Ensemble. BAM house and ticketing policies may not apply. BAM Membership beneﬁts do not apply.
