Deseret Experimental Opera presents "And you ghosts rise blue," an experimental pasticcio opera by Interdisciplinary Arts Collective. Join us in the Masonic Temple on June 23-25 for an evening of movement, sound, and light as we open a rift in the space-time continuum and call in voices past and future, real and unreal. The voices – sounding alongside a collaborative collective of dancers, musicians, poets, actors, and visual artists – form a ghostly chorus with whom we sing of the ephemeral, the infinite, and the im/possible.

About Interdisciplinary Arts Collective: Interdisciplinary Arts Collective is a Salt Lake City-based performing arts group made up of musicians, dancers, poets, actors, artists, and anti-artists. We operate within avant garde and fantastical realms, with a focus on experimental art-making and collaboration. Our practice ranges from the performance of contemporary repertoire to the creation of new works, the staging of performance art and sonic experiments, and community-oriented arts activations. Together, we are dedicated to listening, experimenting, and playing with time. interdisciplinaryartscollective.com
About Deseret Experimental Opera: Deseret Experimental Opera Company (DEXO), founded in 2013 by Logan Hone, Jesse Quebbeman-Turley, and Luke Swenson, has produced 11 premier works: traditionally staged operas, short operas in strange venues, operas on moving bicycles, an installed opera and an improvised opera, and a rocking opera of rocks. DEXO strongly believes in forging a path for opera into the 21st century through egalitarian collaboration of an artistic collective from across disciplines through the medium of opera. By bringing together diverse specialists ranging from musicians to dancers to writers to actors, we strive for the age old goal of opera: a work greater than the sum of its parts. deseretopera.org
