Unraveling

(or how to give fewer f*#ks)

*********************************************

Opera! Time travel! Entanglement! Death-defying aerial prowess! Transmogrification!

A confessional adventure where classical tradition gets twisted by contemporary circus.

This debut solo show blends opera, circus, and a little bit of techno-wizardry to alchemize the classical realm.
