 | | Prometheus Bound
An outcry against tyranny, Prometheus Bound illustrates one man's struggle against the brute force of a ruthless dictator.
Written by Tony and Grammy Award-winning lyricist and playwright Steven Sater (Spring Awakening) with music composed by Grammy Award-winning System of a Down lead singer Serj Tankian, this new musical is inspired by Aeschylus's ancient Greek tragedy about the suffering of Western civilization's first prisoner of conscience.
A.R.T. Artistic Director Diane Paulus stages this world premiere production in OBERON, immersing the audience in an environment that has the Dionysian energy and rebelliousness of a rock concert. Tickets are just $35 during previews (2/25 - 3/3). Limited availability - reserve today! |

 | | Death and the Powers:
The Robots' Opera
By Tod Machover | Libretto by Robert Pinsky Story by Robert Pinsky and Randy Weiner Directed by Diane Paulus | Conducted by Gil Rose
When the eccentric patriarch Simon Powers downloads himself into The System, his entire house comes to life around his family and friends.
A groundbreaking new production developed by the MIT Media Lab in partnership with the A.R.T., Death and the Powers explores what we leave behind for the world and our loved ones, using specially designed technology and an expressively animated stage, including a chorus of robots and a musical chandelier.
Tod Machover, called "America's most wired composer" by the L.A. Times, distinctively blends technological and artistic finesse to create a score that is passionately inventive, yet filled with arching melodic lines.
