Introduction
Mark your calendars for two special dates that promise a wild journey to the Red Planet! With *Mars*, composer Jennifer Walshe presents an extraordinary stage experience that blends opera, theater, and performance art.
The audience is invited to embark on a real space journey to Mars, a world filled with offbeat humor, unexpected situations, and boundless stage energy. Here’s the story: four astronauts and an artificial intelligence software interface are confined to the cabin of a spaceship for nine months during a mission to Mars. As they traverse the vast expanse of space, tensions rise, relationships are put to the test, and to pass the time, they watch and rewatch episodes of the series *Desperate Housewives*. Upon arriving on the Red Planet, they face isolation, sinister ideologies, the prospect of extraterrestrial life, and a shift in atmosphere toward authoritarian team management... Behind this cosmic fantasy, *Mars* also offers a space for reflection on our world today: our lifestyles, our obsessions, and our vulnerabilities.
It’s a work that makes you smile as much as it makes you think. A lively and stimulating show: a space odyssey you won’t forget!
For ages 12 and up.
