The Film

In the surreal drama, “OPERA of CRUELTY”, a Young Victim invited to an immersive operatic production led by the Famed Fiend, a collector and protector of talent, finds himself infatuated with the Tempestuous Tigress, a young woman and the favorite performer, but ends up caught in her trap as she uses him to escape from the production and leaves him behind to face the Fiend’s wrath.

The Role: THE FATES

Three otherworldly creatures who are the handlers of the TIGRESS.  With extreme grace and poise they prepare her for each show and then detain her, like the animal she is, until it is time to perform again. As the opera unfolds, the Young Victim follows the Tigress backstage and once he sees that she is held in captivity, he frees her by fighting off the FATES in a movement piece choreographed by Tony Bordonaro.
