This space odyssey explores colonization through the lens of the ancient past and the near future. The ancient Sumerian goddess of creation, Tiamat, created gods and humans through cosmic warfare. Her grandson, Marduk kills her and seizes the cosmic power for himself. Only Tia, Tiamat's youngest child, stands between him and total hegemony. Together with a space probe, Cooper, Tia fights to the death against the forces of oppression and totalitarianism. A modern day Magic Flute, its essential essence is of fantasy and light, while exploring through metaphor, the effect of colonization on our current world. A feast for the eyes, the multi-media production includes a robotic ballet with an industrial robot and a virtual reality experience of the Big Bang.
