The performance will be held on Saturday August 24 at 7:30pm.
After premiering at The Tank in April, the solo musical comedy The iPhone Arias will receive a showing for one night only at The Performance Project at University Settlement, created and performed by Caroline Hawthorne.
A new comedic opera about one woman's chaotic relationship told through her phone. Come laugh, cry, and cringe at this autobiographical work.
"The iPhone Arias uses a combination of the oldest form of music, opera, with modern, comedic prose to explore the intimacy of technology, while also telling a comedic story of a woman trying to "get back out there" and move on from a break-up," says lead artist Caroline Hawthorne. "It is a piece written for all smartphone users, who can barely remember a time where they didn't have the entire world in their pocket."
The iPhone Aria's creative team includes director Karina Camile Parker-Mura, stage manager Kelleen Moriarty, and lighting/projection designer Zee Hanna.
