Overture 03:21
3.
Two regions, both alike in dignity Separated by a ring of steel. Mi, locked inside, safe, But surrounded by angst and infection. Albert, outside in liberty, Disquiet and yearning Mi. 
 From ancient natural threats break new novel virus,
 Where unclean hands and breath speaks civil death. 
 From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
 Whose misadventured piteous continues
 Doth with their death bury the regions’ strife. 
 The fearful passage of their death-marked love
 And the continuance of the regions’ rage, Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove,
 Is now the thirty minues’ traffic of our stage;
 The which, if you with patient ears attend,
 What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. (In fair Oran, where we lay our scene).

5.
Two regions, both alike in dignity Separated by a ring of steel. And young affection gapes to be his heir.
 That fair for which love groaned for and would die,
 With tender Mi matched, is now not fair. 
 Now Albert is beloved and loves again, Alike bewitchèd by the charm of looks,
 But to his foe supposed he must complain,
 And she steal love’s sweet bait from fearful hooks. 
 Being held a foe, he may not have access
 To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear, And she as much in love, her means much less
 To meet her new belovèd anywhere.
 But passion lends them power, time means, to meet,
 Temp’ring extremities with extreme sweet. (Just outside Oran, where we lay our scene).

about

"Repudiating Oran
or how we learned to stop worrying and love COVID"
By Belle, Guarino, Habel and Hansen

(USB microphone home computer vocal recording made during lockdown.)

The story of two lovers, Mi and Albert, Mi in quarantined in Oran and Albert living in freedom in Arzew outside Oran's Ring of Steel. They hatch a plan for Mi's escape... and we follow their journey until its end.

Developed from a concept and musical sketches by Michael Folmer Hansen

Music and story inspired by the right panel of The Garden of Earthly Delights depicting Hell by Hieronymus Bosch (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garden_of_Earthly_Delights)

Narration elements stolen from William Shakespeare and Albert Camus (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plague)

Conceived and produced during 3 months of the second wave of COVID-19 with the team only able to meet via online.

Luke in hard lockdown with curfew in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Sofia and Michael 350km away from each other with a 5km mobility radius in regional Victoria and Emilio thousands of miles away in Jersey City, USA.
