IAC is thrilled to be returning to the Westside CultureFest with excerpts from our latest work-in-process.“This is a Story” is an experimental opera about the multiverse and the worlds/beings that populate it. The opera unfolds in a modular series of linked vignettes, each set in a different world with its own distinct sound styles, colors, materials and textures, movement languages, etc. Music, spoken and sung text, lights, and dance form the starship by which we navigate these worlds and encounter other bodies.

Join us on August 15 for an early, intimate look at some of the worlds we’re building. Free and open to the public! Studio 5400 at the festival.
