SUMMARY:Proximity
DESCRIPTION:Proximity is a gripping\, powerful trio of new works that confronts head-on some of the greatest challenges affecting us as a society: yearning for connection in a world driven by technology; the devastating impact of gun violence on cities and neighborhoods; and the need to respect and protect our natural resources. As the story zooms in and out from the individual to the community to the cosmic\, we find ourselves in a compelling snapshot of 21st century life\, with all of its complex intersections and commonalities. \nhttps://www.lyricopera.org/shows/upcoming/2022-23/proximity/
