Meltdown
Grounded in the lived experience of scientific practice, Meltdown uses music and video to explore the intertwined dynamics of grief over the climate crisis and the exploitation and extraction of people and land.
Performed by mezzo-soprano Hai-Ting Chinn, violinist Francesca Anderegg, cellist Jules Biber and pianist Erika Switzer, Meltdown was co-created by Hai-Ting Chinn, librettist David Cote, and composer Stefan Weisman. Visual design by Camilla Tassi.
