The Voyage is a twelve minute long opera in two acts. The piece, a collaboration between the composer Michael Wolters and theatre company Stan’s Cafe, is about the constructed nature of nationality in a mobile world and takes the dynamics of emigration and immigration – departure and return as its dramatic substance. The piece is tied to the Olympics though the narrative of a mythological hero who leaves home, travels overseas to face trials and returns a hero. The show’s most striking feature is the dynamic relationship with the audience. Mounted on castors, the seating bank is designed to roll slowly 20m to and from the action. The Voyage will be the second collaboration between Michael Wolters and Stan’s Cafe, whose radical theatre productions have been acclaimed around the world.
