The Geometry is an experimental chamber opera evoking the bio-technological sublime through video gaming rituals, soap opera death spectacles, paranormal houseplants, and an overabundance of sensorial stimulants. Performed within a compartmentalized structure of interlocking stages, the audience's perspective shifts and reconfigures along with the space. A first time collaboration between Object Collection co-founders Kara Feely and Travis Just and radical Irish composer Jennifer Walshe, the operatic score intertwines live electronics and field recordings with extended techniques for instruments and voice.
