All London's live music


Opera

Emma or Emily

The Cockpit Theatre, NW8 8EH , [Venue Details]

‘Tell me. Tell me exactly what you think about me. Which part of me do you like? Do you like my neck? Or elbow? ’

One opera singer, one actor, an evening of drinking, debauchery, and deception.

A failed opera singer, Emily lives a lonely but lush life as a housewife.

@7.00pm

A visit from her old friend Emma offers an escape from her isolation. But as the two drink and dance into the night, Emma gradually reveals the dark side of Emily’s immaculate existence.

Writer Moon Kim and composer Ábel MGE join forces in their second collaboration ‘Emma or Emily’ — a new hybrid opera-play exploring the fractured mind of an artist. Creator of ★★★★★ hits ‘The Waiting Room’ and ‘The Arms’, Moon Kim’s dark surrealist dreamscapes explore the psyche through vivid imagery and movement, while Ábel’s interactive, fully electronic score, brings her characters to life.

“Darkly surreal, devilish and a scrumptious feast for the ears” -The Reviews Hub “Haunting and beautiful” -audience review “The most unexpected surprise. . with an atmosphere that left us questioning how we live our lives.” -audience review
