From IN Series

Persian-American poet and scholar Fatemeh Keshavarz joins jazz pianist and composer Adrienne Torf come together to make a new piece of opera-theater that fuses Faure’s Requiem, jazz elements, and Brechtian theatrical traditions in a powerful contemplation of the human experiences contained in “ female incarceration in America”.

This extended poem-opera sheds light on the lives and resilience of women in the U.S. prison system, their hopes, dreams, fears, and day to day experiences, offering a voice to a population often overlooked.

Six acclaimed local performers join the composer herself, leading an instrumental ensemble from the piano, to animate the important original work.
