Le Desert Mauve

On March 23rd and 24th New Works Calgary presents, ‘Le Désert Mauve,’ an experimental queer opera (en Français!) by Montréal composer, writer, and visual artist Maisie-Nour Symon Henry (they/them). This interdisciplinary performance work is based on the iconic Québécois dreamscape novel ‘Mauve Desert,’ by Governor General award-winning Francophone poet Nicole Brossard. Through original paintings, sound, choreography, and music, Henry has created a performance ‘translation’ of the original text, resulting in a rich re-imagination of the iridescent harmonic textures of Brossard’s literary sonic environment. The opera will run for two nights only at CSpace King Edward.

March 23rd – 7:30PM (1hour, no intermission)

March 24th – 7:30PM (1 hour, no intermission), followed by an artist Q & A
