Tune into monthly livestreams by CultureHub of La MaMa productions using our new broadcasting tool, the CultureHub Broadcaster. Developed over the past five years by CultureHub in association with creative coders at NYU ITP, our open-source platform is designed to explore hybrid performance as its own medium. The software does not try to mimic what works in a live theater, but instead creatively translates the joy and energy of live performance into an online space.
Purchase a livestream ticket to PRECIPICE presented by La MaMa & PROTOTYPE. Audience members who tune into the livestream will be able to switch between different camera positions throughout the show.
About: PRECIPICE sets an intimate story of a young woman’s struggle in the epic landscape of America’s mountain west. Like the land around her, her wild spirit is crushed by disregard. She escapes to the precipice and leaps, awakening mute in a wilderness in which she must fight to find her voice. The opera’s visual world is evoked by miniature dioramas and large-scale video. The score, inspired by American folk music, art song, and the sounds of nature, features seven singers, string quintet, piano and mandolin. By drawing parallels between environmental and emotional damage, PRECIPICE looks at how we are silenced and exiled, and how we find our way to connection, both with each other and the natural world.
