Convicted murderer Walker Loats (Blythe Gaissert) is trapped in a timeless prison. Unexpectedly befriended by a moth (John Kelly) with an offer of a perceived way to freedom, Walker must choose between paying her dues or taking a shortcut that offers to rig the game in her favor.

Oscillating between the confines of a tiny cell and an expansive visual world of animation, The Echo Drift unravels a cycle of deceit, temptation, seduction, and fantastical perception.

Featuring a live chamber ensemble, electronics, and a six-channel surround sound system, this world premiere opera explores the freewheeling nature of the mind when it is robbed of external stimuli and questions, when in extreme circumstances, is it possible to act in a way that goes against one’s nature?

With the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE)
Pianist Aaron Likness
