National premiere
Inspired by the tragic story of Dido, Queen of Carthage abandoned by Aeneas, Dewey Dell’s new work explores the physical consequences of abandonment. Drawing from Purcell’s baroque opera Dido & Aeneas, the performance develops a vertical journey through loss and transformation. Echoing the final lament’s plea – “Remember me but forget my fate” – the piece evokes a sense of transcendence, where suffering becomes a projection toward an unknown future.
