Production:: (T1168350426)

This radical and unnervingly relevant reinterpretation of Puccini's last and unfinished opera explores online obsession and the spectre of a state-controlled media. Utilising cutting edge video design to draw audiences into a virtual world, a company of award-winning opera creatives and Asian diaspora artists confront this opera and its orientalist tropes head on. Performed in Italian, this production repositions a historically problematic opera to reflect a uniquely British East & Southeast Asian narrative.
