*Exhaustion Laments*

LA-based artist and filmmaker *Mariah Garnett
<https://theindustryla.org/profiles/mariah-garnett/>* and a cohort of close
collaborators – Holland Andrews,
<https://theindustryla.org/profiles/holland-andrews/> eddy kwon,
<https://theindustryla.org/profiles/eddy-kwon/> Raphael Khouri,
<https://theindustryla.org/profiles/raphael-amahl-khouri/> Jessika Kenney,
Todd Moellenberg, Breanna Sinclairé
<https://theindustryla.org/profiles/breanna-sinclaire/> and Christopher
Paul Craig – will present material that is part a new body of operatic
works responding to diaries and a never-realized score written by her
great-great aunt Ruth in Cairo in 1935. The diaries insinuate that the
opera was written in collaboration with a spirit, and a picture emerges of
an isolated and talented woman artist plagued by fear, trauma and illness,
who found a measure of healing through music and spirit communication.
Garnett and her collaborators not only resurrect fragments of the original
score, but collectively create new works that examine the condition of
being an artist operating at the margins today. The project asks of all its
participants, “where do you find the spiritual fortitude to continue as an
artist in the face of financial precarity, institutional racism, gender
bias, multi-level capitalist extraction and the exhaustion that all of this
foments?” In response, they attempt a kind of alchemy, weaving together
different configurations of love, empowerment, survival, and familial and
human connection through music and film. In the rescoring of these works,
Garnett delves into questions around legacy and dealing with the impact of
colonial violence on place within her own family history.


*The* *Industry Lab* is The Industry’s performance platform supporting
experiments in opera. Curated by The Industry’s artistic directors, Ash
Fure, Malik Gaines, and Yuval Sharon, LAB will feature three creative teams
in a week-long workshop of new material by Mariah Garnett, Richard Kennedy,
and H Sinno. Moving fluidly between the opera and visual art worlds, this
year’s LAB artists explore challenging migrations, revolutionary
insurrections, and the body-politics of voice. Audiences can witness all
three works-in-progress in an all-day mini-festival on December 17 at Los
Angeles Theatre Center in Downtown Los Angeles.


Hope to see you all at this amazing event!
