Adapted from Mikhail Bulgakov’s novella of the same name, composer Rudolf Rojahn’s dark comedy is re-imagined in a stylized new production by director Copeland Woodruff, two-time winner of the National Opera Association Best Production Award.

A traveling carnival side show, using Bunraku puppets, tells the story of a scientist whose experiments of implanting human glands into the bodies of animals prove overly successful. After luring a dog into his apartment and performing a successful transplant the scientist, his assistant and the housekeeper have their hands full with their test subject. The grandeur of the scientific achievement is overshadowed by the misery of living with the half-dog/half-woman whose varied appetites and manipulations prove disastrous for all.

    Ensemble:
    Brian Church as Doctor
    Patrick Massey as Assistant
    Glorivy Arroyo as Housekeeper
    Aliana de la Guardia as Dog/Police
    Kent O’Doherty, Suitor/Saxophone
    Mike Williams, Percussion
    Gabriela Diaz, Viola
    Javier R. Caballero, Cello

Loose, Wet, Perforated, inspired by medieval morality plays, is a fable which tells of two characters that compete with each other, undergoing various tests called “ordeals” to rise in rank in their Guild system. One starts in a privileged position and descends into isolation and despair. The other begins in a lowly fashion and rises by way of ruthlessness and violence.

    Brian Church as Wet
    Matthew Truss as Perforated
    Thea Lobo as Assorted Characters
    Mike Williams*, Percussion
