Mexican-American composer Nathan Felix will present an immersive opera, directed by Aron Frank at the Fondation des Etats-Unis. Felix is known for his guerilla-style approach in presenting classical music in unconventional spaces with his performance utilizing space, movement, and acoustics to activate venues in a unique way.
The idea behind Felix’s immersive opera is similar to a flash mob as it revolves around blurring the line between performer and audience by having musical performers move amongst the audience as they perform a cohesive musical composition. The audience is encouraged to follow the narrative of the piece which entails following the soloists but they are ultimately given agency to explore based on feeling, sight and soundscape.
