MARS - Opera (Abbey Theatre)

Featuring the Irish National Opera Orchestra, MARS is an opera (sung in English with English surtitles) about space colonisation, reactionary futurism, pronatalism, the madness of hustle culture, and the unsettling futures encroaching on our present.

About:

Four astronauts and an AI software interface are cooped up in the cabin of a space-craft for nine months on a mission to Mars.

As they journey across the vast abyss of space, tensions rise, relationships are tested, seasons of Real Housewives are watched and re-watched. Arriving on the red planet, they confront isolation, sinister ideologies, the prospect of alien life, and a vibe-shift toward corporate authoritarianism.
