Скачать или смотреть Atlas of Remote Islands: Tristan de Cunha (excerpt)

Atlas of Remote Islands, premiered in Denver in May 2023, is a contemporary story of self discovery through armchair travel on the pages of a mysterious book. This is one island 'Part' from the larger 90-minute production; 'Tristan de Cunha' sung by Margaret Ozaki Graves.

'Atlas' is composed and conceived by Nathan Hall with libretto by Alan Olejniczak, this book is an atlas of fifty real, remote islands, stuffed with maps and prose-poem stories, more for the imagination than for navigation and offering more questions than answers. The audience experiences the histories and facts, lore and fantasies of these islands through the eyes of this main character—who in exploring distant worlds through the pages of the atlas unlocks worlds within themself.
