R.U.R. A TORRENT OF LIGHT

R.U.R. A TORRENT OF LIGHT

A Tapestry Opera production in partnership with OCAD University, R.U.R. A Torrent of Light was inspired by Karel Čapek’s 1920’s science-fiction play Rossum’s Universal Robots (which introduced the word “robot” to the English language). The dynamic and immersive collision of opera, physical theatre and spectacle provokes the question, are we ready to create an intelligence far beyond our own? Composed by Nicole Lizée; Libretto by Nicolas Billon; Directed by Hidetoshi Mori.
