Genre: Opera
Plunged into a world full of curious characters and unexpected transformations, everyone Alice meets has an opinion of what she should do and how she should behave. Alice must navigate this constant external pressure in order to locate herself within the world, finding the strength to impose herself on the world rather than allowing it to enforce itself on her.
“ ‘Cuz if you stop to wonder / You’ll ask how it all happened, / And once you start to wonder, / That’s when you may begin / To explode”
