The production brings together talent from both the theatrical and operatic worlds, offering audiences a rich, multidisciplinary experience. Artistic Directors Tinashe Kajese-Bolden and Christopher Moses of Alliance Theatre describe the show as “a heartbeat passed down through time,” while Tomer Zvulun, Artistic Director of The Atlanta Opera, calls it “a mirror to humanity” and “a personal dream.”
