Fantasia on Mysterium: The Epic Immersive Theatrical Recital
January 27, 2024 @ 7:20 pm - 10:15 pm
$5 – $65
Fantasia On Mysterium: The Epic Immersive Theatrical Recital is a genre-busting reimagining of a traditional piano recital and theatrical play, blended with artistically created mind-blowing immersive visuals that accompany both the storytelling and the live performances of Russian composer Alexander Scriabin’s piano works. The audience joins the pianist/actor/playwright Michael Yannette onstage as he weaves the highly synchronistic real-life stories of both he and the composer, which, as it furthers down the rabbit hole, exposes itself to be highly revelatory to both. The adventure that Yannette began years ago as research into his favorite composer weaves into an “epic” play that is at varying times hilarious, deeply moving, hair-raising but, ultimately, fully life-changing and life-affirming. Submerge yourself in a seating arrangement that will place audiences physically on the stage for an intimate experience beginning at 7:30 pm on January 25- January 27, 2024.
*This event will include flashing lights, strobes and haze, animations which may trigger photosensitive viewers, adult language, and adult themes.
We look forward to seeing you at Fantasia on Mysterium: The Epic Immersive Theatrical Recital on Thursday, January 25, 2024, at 7:30 pm, Friday, January 26, 2024, at 7:30 pm, and Saturday, January 27, 2024 at 7:30 pm. Please plan to be seated early because the Mysterium pre-show will begin at 7:20 pm. Doors will open to the performance 30 min before the show is set to start.
Please note that, unlike other performances in the Bardo Arts Center’s Performance Hall, this is a General Admission ticketed event where the audience will be seated on stage. For accessibility accommodations, please get in touch with BAC’s Audience Services Manager, Sara Rincon, at srincon@wcu.edu or 828.227.2508
