Set in a nightmarish Bardo, a place between death and rebirth, a tormented writer faces down demons of his own making in search of escape. This is the premise of composer David T. Little and poet Anne Waldman’s Black Lodge — a multilayered modern opera that draws on the complex mythologies surrounding artists like William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch), David Lynch (Twin Peaks), and others. A journey into hell and back, Black Lodge fuses industrial metal and punk with classical string quartet and opera to create something wildly vivid and new.

A unique experience featuring both film and live vocals by acclaimed Kazakh-American opera singer Timur (Klaus From Space, O. 2023).
