Experiencing Interruptions?

Rahmat-Mercy-Trugaredd

Street Art Operas is a new way of experiencing opera as a relevant, accessible and exciting form, and this film was produced to be projected outdoors onto a wall.

Created to be projected onto a wall, using the impact and language of Street Art but animated as operatic storytelling in music and listened to on Silent Disco Headphones. Imagine a Banksy coming to life and singing!

Like all Street Art, these new pieces will tell stories that are about NOW, with strong social and personal messages – how to discover and release your own creativity to fully express who you are, and a reflection on the climate crisis we have created and how nature might find a way to manage.

By Unity, Eädyth, Sam Hussain and Jamie TC Panton

Inspired by Sufism and hip-hop culture, Rahmat-Mercy-Trugaredd reveals how creativity can be harnessed as a spiritual practice, following Sana as she pushes back against cultural and societal restraints to explore her innate creativity and claim her place in the world. In blending henna and graffiti-inspired visuals with powerful, soaring music, this uplifting work celebrates Sana’s journey of empowerment, as the world around her blossoms.
