Scandinavia House

Catch a sneak preview of the new chamber opera The Echo Drift followed by a moderated panel discussion with composer Mikael Karlsson and librettist Elle Kunnos de Voss. The complete opera will premiere as part of the celebrated <A HREF="http://prototypefestival.org" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PROTOTYPE</A> Festival in January 2018.
Convicted murderer Walker Loats is trapped in a timeless prison. Unexpectedly befriended by a moth with an offer of a perceived way to freedom, Walker must choose between paying her dues or taking a shortcut that offers to rig the game in her favor. Oscillating between the confines of a tiny cell and an expansive visual world of animation, The Echo Drift unravels a cycle of deceit, temptation, seduction, and fantastical perception. Featuring a live chamber ensemble, electronics, and a six-channel surround sound system, this world premiere opera explores the freewheeling nature of the mind when it is robbed of external stimuli and questions, when in extreme circumstances, is it possible to act in a way that goes against one’s nature?
