Tune in tonight, Thursday, December 17th at 7 p.m. to catch the final live episode of Only You Will Recognize The Signal, the latest virtual offering from HERE.

Helmed by 2014-2015 R&D Group alums Kamala Sankaram (music) and Rob Handel (libretto) with direction by Kristin Marting, Only You Will Recognize The Signal is a live serial opera that “adopts a space-travel scenario to contemplate isolation, interdependence, and irreality,” says Steve Smith of the New Yorker.

The travelers aboard the Grand Crew, a very massive luxury emigrant craft, expected to remain in therapeutic hypothermia until arrival at their new home planet. Unfortunately, the technology has been compromised. Isolated in their pods, the unfrozen migrants find themselves entangled in a shared phantasmagoria that smells like sour gummi worms. Just as each fingerprint is unique, no two people’s dream lives can really mesh. But strange things happen in space, and between memory and amnesia lies a potentially fatal mystery.

Beginning October 29th, weekly 10 minute live performances of the opera have aired, culminating in a 70-minute world premiere. In addition to tonight’s final live performance, each episode will be available to package-holders to view until February 15, 2021.
