The Man Who Sold the World is a pre-apocalyptic tale with storytelling, a live operetta and immersive sound – diving into themes of truth, alternative facts and a new look at an old political conundrum. The play was written in 2001 and workshopped in France in 2008. While the content is eerily similar to the current political climate in North America, the piece was crafted and shaped as a work of fiction with an epic journey through the stars and imaginal characters that bear a striking resemblance to our own complex world.

While the content of The Man Who Sold the World is eerily similar to the current political climate, the piece was crafted and shaped in 2001, as a work of fiction and a journey through the stars to a completely foreign land with fictional characters.

Storytelling, interrupted by modern opera and immersive theatrical fantasy.
