During Lent this year IN Series Opera is creating a fully immersive arts and faith experience that blends music and poetry from four centuries of creative latina voices from Mexico (including Chavela Vargas, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Gloria Alzandua, Maria Grever, and Frida Kahlo) with a 12th century chant drama telling the story of the Holy Family's journey fleeing violence to safety in a foreign, all in an experience with projected images, sculptural installation, and choirs of adult and children's voices. The piece meditates particularly on the experience of migrant women and children at the border, and includes artistic contributions from more than a dozen local female artists. This is a spiritual arts experience to awaken meaning and contemplation in all the senses. On March 7th at 7:00pm, a dress rehearsal will be open for MVPers to be the first to take part in the experience, at the Dupont Underground located at 19 Dupont Cr. The experience lasts approximately one hour. While space is limited, there is room for all that would like to attend. Contact Timothy, MVP Music Director, for more information.
