Simnett's stage debut GORGON is a 'flute opera' following Greta, a girl working night shift at a train station doughnut stand, and Gorgon, a shape-shifting entity whose piercing wail can shake the ground.
Transporting the ancient Greek myth of Gorgon into a contemporary fairy tale, GORGON explores love, envy, power and empathy in the age of machine learning. Unfolding through sound, light and movement, it brings together collaborators from the fields of music and stage performance, set and costume design, AI technology and choreography.
