ORATORIO FOR LIVING THINGS

In this “PROFOUNDLY STRANGE AND OVERWHELMINGLY BEAUTIFUL” (New York Times) music-theater piece, creator Heather Christian infuses a classical oratorio with a captivating blend of blues, gospel, jazz, and soul. Both otherworldly and achingly intimate, this immersive event delves into the intricacies of human memory alongside the powerful forces that shape the universe. Deemed “GORGEOUS – A MUST SEE!” (TimeOut New York), Christian’s utterly singular work explores the origins of existence and our place within it.

Staged by Obie Award-winning director Lee Sunday Evans and featuring a virtuosic company of singers and instrumentalists, the critically heralded ORATORIO FOR LIVING THINGS makes its highly anticipated return, celebrating our curiosity, wonder, and all we’re capable of becoming when in communion with each other.
