WORLD PREMIERE in May 2013!

Join us for the world premiere of Double Blind Sided, a contemporary opera inspired, in part, by Franz Kafka’s The Trial.  Composer, Robert Fruehwald of Southeast Missouri State University, has created emotionally moving music for Indiana-based poet G.B. Waldschmidt’s witty libretto, creating a non-linear montage of anachronistic scenes connecting Kafka’s novel, Weimar Germany’s slide into Nazism, the Vietnam War, and current economic and political events.

With movement-based direction provided by Joséphine A. Garibaldi and Paul Zmolek of Callous Physical Theatre, vocal direction by Diana Livingston Friedley, a music ensemble conducted by Julie Sorensen, this promises to be a rare and exhilarating evening of total theatre.

A post-performance panel discussion with the composer, librettist and directors will be held Wednesday and Thursday.  Admission is by donation.  All donations will support the tour of the work to the July 2013 Santa Cruz Fringe Festival.  For information: Joséphine A. Garibaldi, garijose@isu.edu.
