ALBUM COMING SOON!!!

By Eric Farber Directed by Mia Rovegno An experimental opera presented in the streets and public parks of New York City. April 15, 2033 - New York City. Space Admiral Mira Clemente has just landed back to Earth after a 15 year solo space mission. The world has changed a great deal since Mira’s launch in 2018. Overrun by truth discrepancies and near-facts, the America of 2033 is drowning in the fiction it sells to itself. Ever since her 7th grade obsession with Albert Einstein, Mira has dreamed of exploring the immense unknown all alone. 30 years later her friends from middle school have dusted off their old marching band instruments and are reuniting to throw Mira a homecoming parade through their old neighborhood. But the parade is not what it seems. And Mira’s return home will cause her to doubt everything. Music direction by Freddy Epstein Sound design by Stowe Nelson Dramaturgy by Jacob Marx Rice Featuring: Starr Busby, Marisa Clementi, Freddy Epstein, Eric Farber, Kristine Haruna Lee, Storm Thomas, Clyde Daley, Dan Dunford, Brama Sukarma, Matthew Cain Made possible with development from: Fresh Ground Pepper through the 2018 Playground Playgroup The Center for Morale, Welfare & Recreation through the 2017 Governor's Island Residency Eric Farber is a Brooklyn-based percussionist and theater artist.
