Directed by Alex Vermeulen, composed by David Shea,
performed by Kate Strong and produced by Cecile Vandeursen
SOH10 the Opera
Tells the story of an impassioned female scientist who is experimenting with artificial intelligence.
It is a physical and mental experience where Alex Vermeulen and David Shea transform the rich “opera” tradition into a contemporary form with a mix of traditional Eastern and Western opera influences and popular music genres by applying live-edited video and music sample techniques developed especially for the opera.
The interchange between live performance, video images and a virtual orchestra will immerse you in a truly unique visual trip.
