Early Morning Opera: Abacus
“Changing the world one multimedia performance at a time.” Modern Painters
“Mind-bendingly creative.” Philadelphia City Paper
Fresh from performances at the Sundance Film Festival, award-winning director and media artist Lars Jan and his company Early Morning Opera employ the latest in high-tech wizardry to explore the seductive power of multimedia persuasion, including TED-style presentations and video-enhanced megachurch events. Abacus introduces media visionary and cult icon Paul Abacus, who is given a platform to expound on such theories as a re-imagining of Buckminster Fuller’s fabled Geoscope as a new “data cathedral” for the masses and a call for a world without national borders. Part pitchman and part sermonizer, Abacus is magnified by a team of live video Steadicams and large-scale projections in this genre-defying, visually immersive production that was first staged at REDCAT’s New Original Works Festival and has since won national praise.
