This operatic adventure takes you island hopping around the world.
“This one is about geography and why we travel,” he explains. And Hall is more than familiar with the gifts of travel — both physical and psychological — thanks to residencies, fellowships and invitations that have taken him across the U.S. and overseas.
In Schalansky’s book, “all fifty islands added to a narrative thread," Hall says."You follow a character, ostensibly the author, and she does write in character.” Hall’s take is a little different and little bit the same: “My narrator is more of a composite, but it started with me." Each of the fifty-plus island segments in Hall’s opera last only about one to three minutes. Given the short time limit, “the whole product is less than two hours, and it zooms by at times,” he says. “To be understood in such a short time, you have to get the magic of theater involved — singers in costumes, the orchestration of a small ensemble, lighting effects, projections. We also have beautiful backgrounds from a friend’s family slide collection.
“The fun would be how it’s reordered,” he adds. “Some might become more important by giving rise to matters of ecology or peace activism in the way you reorder them. ... It’s like shuffling deck of cards. I like being taken along on an unexpected journey on a thread.”
