TAPESTRY OPERA presents M’DEA UNDONE
May 26, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - May 29, 2015 @ 11:00 pm
$50 – $95
Experience the unraveling of mythology’s most controversial heroine in a modern wartime context, set against the stunning industrial backdrop of Toronto’s reclaimed brick factory, Evergreen Brickworks. TAPESTRY OPERA presents a recreation of the classic myth in the world premiere of M’DEA UNDONE. Written by Dora Award-winning playwright Marjorie Chan and brought to life by the lush orchestral and electronic soundscape of Scottish composer John Harris, M’DEA UNDONE will receive its world premiere in Toronto for a limited engagement.
M’dea’s struggle for survival and revenge begins when she accompanies her lover Jason to a new life in the west. Having betrayed her village to help the military commander, M’dea rages when he distances himself from his family to advance his political aspirations and take a new wife. Thus begins M’dea’s retribution and rapid spiral towards the opera’s searing and tragic finale.
The site of this production makes it unique. Both Tapestry Opera and Evergreen Brickworks fuse tradition and innovation. Evergreen Brickworks is a repurposed brick factory transformed into a modern community environmental centre; Tapestry Opera advances an artistic tradition to create wholly original, contemporary works. In accordance with the Brickworks’ mandate, M’DEA UNDONE will be produced sustainably, using a minimal set made from reusable materials that showcases the Brickworks’ natural-industrial setting. Audiences will experience M’DEA UNDONE in an awe-inspiring, untraditional space, and will have the opportunity to engage with their natural surroundings before the curtain rises.
