A SCI-FI INTERPRETATION OF OLIVIER MESSIAEN’S QUATUOR POUR LA FIN DU TEMPS

APR 14 & 15 @ 8:00 PM | APR 16 @ 3:00 PM

@ BREAD & SALT GALLERY: 1955 Julian Ave, San Diego, CA 92113

In an immersive concert and theatrical experience built around Olivier Messiaen’s apocalyptic chamber masterpiece, Quartet for the End of Time, a mysterious visitor from another world arrives to give voice to a harrowing personal history. Conceived and created by Project [BLANK] Co-Founder and General Director Brendan Nguyen, THE TRAGEDIES OF SPACE TRAVEL is an exploration of second-generation Vietnamese experience and the echoing ramifications of violence, displacement, and war. It employs “alien invasion” sci-fi tropes and otherworldly soundscapes as allegory for the perception of displaced refugees and immigrants.
