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!

Age range: All ages, but mostly adults
In a festival of new work, please note that shows may overrun.
