The shaman speaks of a crystal city
beyond time’s horizon,
imperial and immortal,
where the mind-lake sparkles,
a perfected form
where all is immediate.
Multi-media performance group ENSO WATT are back with their latest production “CRYSTOPIA” – an operatic piece set in a dystopian dimension where a neo-humanity searches for the “beautiful objects of eternity.” This is a continuation of their latest experimental cycle developed in both “INFERNOPOLIS: The Beautiful Imperfection” and “Clonologic Horizone®”.

As the death poem of a silicon empire slowly unrolls,
and everything is covered in destiny dust,
the laws of existence break down.
By placing the Living Corpse Drug under his tongue the shaman speaks
of a vast crystal city where humankind has evolved
into pure data––godly, precise, arithmetical.
In this Great Index, this architectural prism of crystalline colours,
the past, the passing, or what’s to come are experienced instantaneously.
But not all is perfect in the Immortal City.
