Opera Unbound presents Floating Island
Join Opera Unbound for a multi-medium program, showcasing a new commission alongside songs by BC composers in a celebration of women's voices.
Composed by Kara Gibbs, Floating Island explores themes of gender, beauty, and feminist history through music, electroacoustic soundscape, and movement. Anchored by an original setting of the poetry of Dorothy Wordsworth, the piece will feature live and pre-recorded vocals, and recordings of the natural soundscape in Wordsworth’s hometown.
Floating Island is co-created by a team of non-binary and women artists, reflecting on forgotten histories and themes of climate stewardship.
