The Refugees

A Large Scale Opera in 1 Act 

an ancient site-specific opera about a current crisis

Based on Aeschylus’ Hikétides (c. 460 BCE), The Refugees is an uncannily contemporary opera about the rights of refugees, the duties of democratic states, and the complexities of international humanitarianism—told from the perspective of a chorus of exiled women.

With support from Canada Arts Council we have been able to run the first stage workshop for this opera successfully.

Currently we are hoping to find partners to  co-produce this opera.
