Part of HANCHER’S 2026–2027 SEASON and INFINITE DREAM
Presented by HANCHER AUDITORIUM

What would happen on Earth after humans disappeared?

This experimental opera—created by cutting edge musician and actress Gelsey Bell—inhabits a world where humans no longer exist. A highly acclaimed ensemble of five vocalist/multi-instrumentalists guide the audience through the changes on Earth as forests grow back, new species evolve, and the human-made world erodes away. Fantastical and playful, the piece explores the dire political and ethical contradictions structuring current human relations with nature.

"Sexily sinister, celestial and otherworldly.” – Parterre Box
