TigerBear Productions At Magic Theatre — GhostRave: An Immersive Indigiqueer Electronic Opera
TigerBear Productions At Magic Theatre
TigerBear Productions presents GhostRave: An Immersive Indigiqueer Electronic Opera with Magic Theatre at Fort Mason Center For Arts & Culture. Brandon M. P. Roberts composed the music and Jerome Joseph Gentes wrote the lyrics.
About The Production. GhostRave explores indigenous themes. Once again, Coyote is up to no good. When the Trickster stumbles across the 1890 Ghost Dance in western Nevada, he accidentally summons Chayson, an indigiqueer bike messenger, from 1990 San Francisco. Trying to get back home, Chayson launches on a journey across time, space, music, dance, despair, hope, and love.
GhostRave unfolds — for Chayson, Coyote, an assortment of Native and indigenous beings and spirits, and most of all the audience — as an immersive adventure from composer Roberts and librettist Gentes that breaks the rules of dance floors, spacetime, indigeneity, genderqueerness, opera, and theater. GhostRave features groundbreaking approaches to musical composition, using DJ formulas and techniques such as harmonic mixing and beat matching to fuse music genres and rhythms.
A limited number of tickets are available for each performance — patrons are invited to sit, stand, drink, and yes, dance! GhostRave is a fresh, original theater experience coming alive for the first time in this workshop production from TigerBear, the creative production team that brought the immersive kink chamber opera Unbound to Palm Springs and the award-winning Deal With The Dragon to the Magic Theatre.
General admission tickets cost $30 to $75 for shows from October 17, 2024 through October 27, 2024, Thursday to Sunday, 8:00 p.m.
NOTE: GhostRave includes electronic music, haze effects, flashing lights, and light scent design. Hey, it’s a dance club!
