Upon learning of Evergreen Brick Works, I was rather fascinated by not only its aesthetics, but also its function as performative space. I’ve enjoyed quite a few traditional operatic performances over the years, but at the same time, I’ve often found the most interesting works to to be those which break with tradition in one […]
