The always-amazing Wooster Group brings La Didone to St. Ann's Warehouse for a six-week run. Baroque opera meets 1960's Sci-Fi as only the Wooster Group can do it!The Wooster Group stirs these two Italian cultural artifacts together, dropping Aeneas' ships onto a forbidding planetary landscape, setting the lute alongside live electric guitar, blending acoustic and electronic space, and finding an unexpected synergy between early baroque opera and pre-moon landing sci-fi: A 21st-century retelling of an ancient tale about the destructive (and redemptive) power of erotic passion and the sheer tenacity of human nature in the face of annihilation.THE WOOSTER GROUP
