Unseal Unseam is an experimental, multimedia opera that re-frames the fable of Bluebeard’s Castle from the perspective of his abused wife, Judith. This unique opera combines traditional operatic singing with extended vocal techniques accompanied by modular synth, electronic piano, and textures of harsh electronic noise made through amplified props onstage. Electronic Countermeasures' Kerstin Hovland joined with the all female creative team lead by Shannon Knox (director), Micaela Tobin (composer/performer), and Sharon Chohi Kim (composer/performer) to design the subtle and strong lighting and projections that guide the audience through this amazing and powerful immersive opera. Frequent Electronic Countermeasures collaborator Lauren Sego provided lighting programming and Electronic Countermeasures' Emery C. Martin provided additional lighting programming.
