Squonk Opera:

Mayhem and Majesty 7 PM • Wednesday, February 27 • Kenan Auditorium$5 students, $22 public

Squonk Opera’s Mayhem and Majesty is the latest in a series of their truly surreal, genre-busting feats of musical theater. The show “behaves like a three-dimensional Rorschach test,” conveying meaning through music and a visual symphony of performance art, stage settings, and theatrics, incorporating cameras and video screens. Mayhem and Majesty is accessible modern opera at its most spellbinding.
