Verdigris Ensemble will present Song From The Uproar: The Lives And Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt, where audiences can step into the extraordinary world of Song from the Uproar, in which composer Missy Mazzoli brings to life the remarkable journey of Isabelle Eberhardt, a Swiss explorer who abandoned European privilege to roam the Sahara as a Sufi mystic.
Through a mesmerizing blend of live instruments and electronics, this chamber opera illuminates the tensions between opposing forces - man and woman, water and sand, Europe and Africa. The innovative production captures Eberhardt's quest for freedom in a world of constraints. Her story of radical transformation, cut short by a desert flood at age 27, resonates powerfully with anyone who has ever yearned to break free from society's boundaries and discover their true self.
