1:1 - A CHAT OPERA

- an opera for age 11 and up

Do you have anyone to talk to? Where do you reveal your secrets? Are you afraid to open your door and let anybody in? Our main character moves around in chat rooms making new acquaintances, which may help her. But this can also be fatal. With inspiration from the many meeting places on the Internet, FIGURA ENSEMBLE has created a tense musical drama, which speaks to teenagers as well as parents and grandparents. It is a performance about loss – and gain. About having the courage to open closed doors. Everything in 1:1
