Jay Afrisando x thingNY – [opera captions] // Indexical, Santa Cruz
Date: February 24, 2024
Time: 8:30 pm
“[opera captions]” by Jay Afrisando reimagines what captions as an “actor” can do beyond functioning as a communication conveyor and sound interpreter in audiovisual media. What if captions ‘step up,’ ‘speak,’ and ‘tell’ their stories?
“[opera captions]” focuses on captions bringing together accessibility, inner-imagined voices, and creativity. The music-theater-film-translation-poetry performance “[opera captions]” reimagines what captions as an “actor” can do beyond functioning as a communication conveyor and sound interpreter in audiovisual media while interacting with and personified by humans: New York composer-performers collective thingNY and viewer-audiences. “[opera captions]” invites you to celebrate the lives of captions that have been both cherished and hated.
