Kaatsbaan Cultural Park’s 2024 Festival & Contemporaneous present an early look at an upcoming work, History of Life, by composer Dylan Mattingly and librettist Thomas Bartscherer.

Weaving together text and music from journal entries, poems, voice memos, and previous works by Karl Ronneburg & Grey Rose Grant, The Precipice is a 100-minute abstract chamber-rock opera that explores the formation of self and our relationship with moments of transition. The show asks: how do the metaphors and myths by which we construct our identity hold us back, and how do we leave behind relationships, places, and visions of self without losing the part of them that made us who we are?
