A HALF MUTANT OPERA where music speaks louder than words. She studies mitochondria. Then one of them walks into her life.
A one-act chamber musical-theater performance, written by Mikiko Miyakawa whose recording career began in Japan with an album produced by Haruomi Hosono.
The musicians themselves portray the characters while performing live. At times, their instruments speak in place of words.
When a mysterious salesman Luca enters the life of Shannon, a scientist and composer, a story unfolds around a mitochondrial mutation, groundbreaking discovery and scientific rivalry.
Can music save a fragile life that was never meant to be seen?
Optional:
Tokyo-inspired Zen-style meditation, accompanied by live music.
A complimentary wine tasting featuring labels by a Japanese artist behind this production’s artwork.
