Mata Hari is an exploration of love and survival of the famous woman whose exploits in espionage took her back and forth across WWI Europe and ultimately made her a scapegoat. The piece pushes operatic form with its electro-acoustic instrumentation, mixed vocal styles, manipulated video design, and clever melding of historical materials. Languishing in a Paris prison during the final months of her life, Mata Hari relives her tempestuous relationships with the men who loved and loathed her, and ultimately destroyed her.
