[Alt text: a show poster featuring glitch art aesthetics: with shifts, color oranges, purples, and pinks, an opera theatre logo is in the corner, fragmented text overlays resembling open captions, and abstract visual noise that evokes the reimagining of sound through captions. With the title "[opera captions] by Jay Afrisando directed by Sequoia Hauck". Performance details on the the bottom, January 24-26 at Nautilus Music-Theater 308 E Prince St. St Paul.]
