PLÜMAGE • A Queer Opera Pastiche

A QUEER OPERA is just what we need right now! A poignant parable, springing forth from our own outrage & grief, aiming to offer some collective uplift & balm. As our story unfolds, you’ll meet a flock of diverse birds, who face oppression & captivity. Together, might we witness them break free & return to their natural state of revelry, fabulosity & flight? Be a part of our movement, and passion project.

Musical genres in this pastiche showcase are rooted in Baroque (Handel, Purcell) & accented by German Lieder (Grieg, Schoenberg), Pop/Rock (Dolly, Gaga, Fleetwood Mac) & Musical Theatre (Sondheim).
