Artbound provides an exclusive look at the avant-garde opera, “Invisible Cities,” culminating with a special hour-long Artbound episode that airs exclusively on KCET on Dec. 12, 2013 at 9 p.m. The special will capture the complete creative narrative of “Invisible Cities,” featuring scenes from the live opera performance, artfully interspersed with robust multimedia footage taken during the making of the production.
Produced by The Industry, L.A.’s experimental opera company, in partnership with the L.A. Dance Project, “Invisible Cities” depicts the meeting between emperor Kublai Khan at the end of his life with the explorer Marco Polo, as told in Italo Calvino’s fantastical book. An innovative production staged in the iconic Union Station, the opera utilizes wireless technology provided by Sennheiser, offering audience members headphones to hear the opera amid the normal “hustle and bustle” of the train station’s everyday life. “Invisible Cities” is composed and adapted by Christopher Cerrone, directed by The Industry’s founder and artistic director Yuval Sharon, with choreography by Danielle Agami.
Updated weekly with new articles, video and photos, Artbound viewers will see rehearsal footage; get a glimpse of the production’s beautiful costumes; discover the technical nuances of combining technology, art and public spaces; learn about the complexities of choreographic dance in high traffic areas, and much more.
