The Story
The frontiers of the sublime extend into the far reaches of space in Georgi Gospodinovās cosmic adventure starring archetypal astronauts Adam and Eve, Laika the dog and naturally, aĀ Musca domesticaĀ or fruit fly.
The Bulgarian authorās exercise in libretto writing takes the shape of a āgiant poemā patterned after a hyper-saturated present where āinformation is everything/And everything is informationā¦isnāt it?ā. In answer, Gospodinov heads out of bounds, roving between Mars and Earth; voices, scales, valences of emotion. Mediated by camera cues and an insectoid chorus, Space OperaĀ is a genre-collapsing work engaging an irreducible expanse of human and more-than-human experience on the cusp of seismic evolution.
