No One is Forgotten: An Immersive Opera Drama, presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Theater at Princeton University at Wallace Theater at Lewis Arts complex on the Princeton University campus

No One is Forgotten: An Immersive Opera Drama is a story of intimacy, surrender and the will to survive. A soundscape of foley arts, actors, electronics, instrumentalists, and classical vocalists creates a world where the audience can experience storytelling through psycho-acoustic sound design techniques and their imagination. The work tells the story of Lali and Beng, who are being held captive. No one knows where they have been taken or if they are alive. All they have is each other. Co-composed by Paola Prestini and Sxip Shirey with a libretto adapted by Winter Miller from her original play, inspired by the plight of captured and detained journalists and aid workers. Designed in immersive sound design, the audience is enveloped within the action. Miller was compelled to write the original play because she observed how much more dangerous the world has become for journalists over the last 20 years. A panel discussion on “What Art Reveals Beyond Factual Reporting” will follow the February 8 performance moderated by Eliza Griswold, Director of Princeton’s Program in Journalism. This is a Princeton Humanities Council Magic Project funded through a David A. Garner ’69 Magic Grant.
