InsightALT - THE SHADOW

Composer: Ivette Herryman Rodríguez
Librettist: Samuel Norman

Developed under the auspices of the Composer Librettist Development Program at American Lyric Theater

CONDUCTOR: Kelly Kuo

A simple experiment goes terribly wrong. A man accidentally detaches himself from his shadow, which flits off into the night. No matter how hard he tries, he’s unable to recover it, and eventually he is forced to move on… until the evening he receives an unexpected visitor. Adapted from the twisted tale by Hans Christian Andersen, THE SHADOW explores the fragility of identity, and how easily reality itself can be usurped by a good story.
