Slip on a set of headphones and step into a world conducted by an unseen, all-knowing presence.
Created by Australian multidisciplinary performer Sophia Brous, working in collaboration with celebrated theatre makers Lara Thoms and Samara Hersch and New York choreographer Faye Driscoll—The Invisible Opera is a kaleidoscopic trip through the micro and macro dynamics of public space.
As the everyday action at Fed Square unfolds, a voice seemingly narrates the goings on in real time, forcing the participant to question what is real—and who is watching.
