Unspeakable is an immersive opera exploring anger, love, and detachment in a divisive time. Set in a city neighborhood, the narrative unfolds through ten scenes of characters grappling with life’s unspoken tensions as a storm of the century threatens to disrupt the new normal. The audience joins the community as they are surrounded by audio along with an innovative combination of live ensemble and visual projections that prompt a reflection on our shared humanity and the possibilities for reconnection in a fractured world.
