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.

Victor Lebowski, better known as the artist Tijuanauta, captures the beauty of the borderlands in his art. His detailed ink drawings are often a mishmash of U.S.-Mexico icons, like Star Wars characters and taco carts, or astronauts eating carne asada. But for a long time, Tijuanauta refused to sell his art or make art his day job. Instead, he hid behind the safety of his office job and stayed inside a cubicle for a decade. But recently, Tijuanauta took the plunge. He became a full-time artist and had his first-ever art show in Tijuana over the summer. The artist is gaining traction fast, but his biggest battle is inside his own brain. A mix of lifelong anxiety and self-doubt has long stopped Tijuanauta from being the artist he's destined to be. But he’s finally fighting back.

Widening the Embrace: A Reduced Carbon Footprint Concert (California-Korea, 2023) Widening the Embrace is the third stage in our collaboration, which began in 2016 with Changing Tides I and was followed at the beginning of the pandemic in February 2020 with Changing Tides 2: Requiem for the Earth. Our intention is to forge a path forward, balancing in sound as we collectively confront a morphing pandemic and undeniable climate crisis.
