Strange Land — Etchings by Brian D. Cohen

Strange Land, music for voices, chamber ensemble, and electronics with projected media, is an immersive multimedia experience based on the Book of Revelation seen through modern eyes. It sings the long arrow of trepidation and consequence from ancient to future, confronting the collision of ages-old spiritual questions with our modern technological world and a dawning climate crisis, the specter of societal collapse, and forced migration. This concert event is accompanied by etchings by Brian D. Cohen on copper plates, enlarged to colossal proportions and projected in minute detail on the IMAX screen.

Tickets for Strange Land are available! Boston Museum of Science Mugar Omni (IMAX) Theater, Wednesday, September 23 at 7:30pm. The event will be repeated the following evening at the Goel Center for Theater & Dance, Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire.

*The Boston MOS show requires tickets (link above); the Exeter show is free and tickets are not required.
