Allow The Sea’s evocative melodies to transport you to the heart of life’s mysteries; where love, lust, and power collide.
Composer Evan J Lawson’s music is a mirror reflecting humanity. From the depths of the human soul, Lawson brings together the worlds of rich and melodic classical music with dynamic and fresh new sounds. Lawson’s music illuminates the complex interplay of emotions and power dynamics in relationships. Paired with the haunting words of poet Nicole Butcher, and directed by the visionary Kate Millett (BK Opera, Artistic Director), this work brings to the stage the depths of human connection, showcasing the raw and often turbulent nature of relationships.
Let the waves of music wash over you with this extraordinary collaboration between Forest Collective and BK Opera, a union that promises to challenge and inspire.
Starring Daniel Szesiong Todd, Aleise Bright, Henry Shaw, Jesse Matthews, Amanda Windred and SODA, with musicians from Forest Collective.
Presented by Forest Collective, BK Opera and Abbotsford Convent.
