Opera | Le Voci dello Stretto: Fantastical, Italian One-Act Opera
Synopsis: On a beautiful spring day, a falcon named Pellegrino flies happily over the Strait of Messina at dawn and sees a colorful bridge connecting the two shores. After a few seconds, the bridge suddenly disappears. Pellegrino decides to investigate and turns to the mermaids, who do not believe him but advise him to ask the inhabitants of the strait. The falcon first meets Scylla, the six-headed monster who terrorizes sailors crossing the two shores of the strait, then Charybdis, who causes the whirlpools and currents of this beautiful stretch of sea, and finally Colapesce, a boy who has become half man and half fish and supports on his shoulder the column that holds up the city of Messina. Music by Roberto Scarcella Perino. Libretto by Eugenio Refini. Performed in Italian by Suchan Kim, Emma Marhefka, Anna Maria Vacca, Bernard Holcomb.

Gallery Talk | Artists in Conversation:
As part of their latest exhibition, Abigail Lucien engages in a conversation with curator Jessica Bell Brown to discuss their interdisciplinary practice and the themes behind the work. The talk will explore Lucien’s use of sculpture, writing, and time-based media to examine memory, place, and the legacies of colonial structures.
Through the lens of iron and steel, Lucien reflects on ancestral knowledge, blacksmithing traditions, and the poetic potential of materials to carry histories and emotions. Brown and Lucien will also consider concepts of loss, grief, and belonging as fluid processes, highlighting how the exhibition transforms architectural forms into vessels for memory and storytelling.
