Following a preview performance during the Winter Festival, Emily Hall’s new opera is presented in a fully-staged version.

A woman is struggling to connect with her lover. His belief that a pylon has a special power passes on to her and, as sparks fly, their madness takes hold. Insanity, electricity and love collide in a sonic voyage into the shared psychosis known as ‘folie à deux’, where a delusion is transmitted from one person to another.
