In an immersive concert and theatrical experience built around Olivier Messiaen’s apocalyptic chamber masterpiece, Quartet for the End of Time, a mysterious visitor from another world arrives to give voice to a harrowing personal history. Conceived and created by Project [BLANK] Co-Artistic Director Brendan Nguyen, "The Tragedies of Space Travel" is an exploration of second-generation Vietnamese experience and the echoing ramifications of violence, displacement, and war. It employs “alien invasion” sci-fi tropes and otherworldly soundscapes as allegory for the perception of displaced refugees and immigrants. Created in collaboration with playwright Carolina Đỗ, visual artist Ash Capachione, sound artist Joe Mariglio and directed by Leslie Ann Leytham.
