- Genre: Opera
- A strange dream with dark rumbling chords and percussion launches us into a production that thwarts our expectations from beginning to end. The story is the Alice you know: a journey full of complex surprises, juxtapositions, and shifts in rules musically and narratively that will both entertain and provoke, bookended with a new dream ending where Alice finds the strength to plant her own flowers in a barren land.
- “Who in the world am I? Was I the same when I got up this morning? Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”
