Abstract
Fleeing a catastrophe, a motley assembly of refugees congregate in a forest clearing. They are seduced by rumours of a prophet who can save them from their doom, but their aspirations toward salvation are riven by schism and mischief. Co-funded by the Genesis Foundation. Top Award in The 2003 Genesis Opera Prize.
