Infinitesimal is “an extraordinary new step into chamber opera” (Pure.Art Circle, Italy). Based on current research about near-death experiences, this "desperately moving and intimate" (Harmonious World) interactive performance combines the impact of a full operatic production with the immediacy of a personal conversation, inviting audiences into a vivid exploration of life’s final moments. Dancing at the threshold between our existence and what lies beyond it, “Infinitesimal is a moving, sensitively-crafted exploration of a subject that is uniquely relevant to everyone." (Art Bath NYC). Directed by Kevin Newbury and composed and performed by pianist Nicole Brancato and baritone Jeremy Weiss. www.infinitesimalopera.com
