20:30-21:20, Tuesday 17th September 2024

The Cockpit

 

Music/Words: Robin Fiedler

Words: Wyatt Gaer

 

There will be a touch tour available before this performance at 19:00-19:30.

 

There will be an online watch party for Serenoid at 19:00 on the 3rd of October.

 

All humanoids and other life-forms, organic and synthetic, are welcome to experience Serenoid, a ghostly, steampunk-flavoured story of queer romance and found family inspired by online fanfiction and its creative niche spaces. Xaven (Victoria Oruwari), a blind engineer and Corrie (Taryn Surratt), an android violinist have to overcome their struggle with isolation and connection to find themselves and each other in a semi-acoustic, semi-electronic score with breath-taking young singers and musicians. Beam aboard and be warned – this opera has a tag line!
