THE JUNGLE (2020): SENT FROM MY IPHONE
Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw
Adapted by Lana Scott Stringer
Join us for a VIP showing of The jungle (2020), an opera based on an email exchange between meat packing industry giants during COVID 19.
On Saturday, June 1 from 4-5 PM, join us insidethe hot dog for The Jungle (2020): Sent from my iPhone, an opera/capitalism fantasia. In the midst of the pandemic in 2020, the rich got richer at the expense of the working class, and the most damning example of this occurred in the meatpacking industry. Across the industry, influential meatpacking CEOs' intentional disregard of CDC guidelines and deliberate backchanneling led to approximately 269 deaths, 59,000 COVID-19 cases...and a 300% profit increase. An opera featuring some of New York's finest vocal talents, the artists' finest condemnation of the culpable, and the finest champagne refreshments - you won't want to miss it.
