about

LOOKING AT YOU is a techno-noir music theater work mixing electronic dance music, crime jazz, and lyric operatic arias. Equal parts Edward Snowden and Casablanca, LOOKING AT YOU explores the impact of modern technology on privacy. When genius coder Dorothy discovers that her former lover has become the world’s most famous whistleblower, will she turn him in to the authorities, or help him to escape?
