Two angels fall to earth, and their story is told through a dark and unsettling parable. Care becomes contempt and love becomes loathing in this contemporary opera from composer Du Yun and librettist Royce Vavrek. The opera fuses multiple musical genres, spoken word, and immersive staging to tell an uncompromising tale of modern slavery and human trafficking. The production depicts themes of human trafficking and sexual exploitation as well as extreme violence, and contains strong drug, smoking, and alcohol misuse, sexual violence including rape, and death. The UK premiere of the Pulitzer-prize winning opera is staged at the London Coliseum in collaboration with Factory International and BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
