International Contemporary Ensemble: GROUNDS - a devised opera installation

International Contemporary Ensemble: GROUNDS - a devised opera installation

GROUNDS is a new performance fusing devised theater, opera, immersive installations, and site-specific art that intervenes in public space. Retelling New York’s history through an inclusive feminist lens, this environmental opera installation illuminates female-identifying history-makers from Brooklyn, including Shirley Chisholm, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Emily Warren Roebling. Free to the public, GROUNDS dispels isolation, rebuilds connectivity, and amplifies community identity by celebrating the resilient spirit that makes Brooklyn extraordinary. Concept, Creative Director & Executive Producer / Jennifer Williams Installation Designer / Jungah Han Costume Designer / Asa Benally Devising Artists / Raquel Acevedo Klein, Isabel Lepanto Gleicher, Rebekah Heller, IONE, Shara Lunon, Clara Warnaar Stage Manager / Nick Auer
