Section: New York
As part of the Historias initiative, The Clemente Center and New Latin Wave present Section: New York, a preview workshop of Sokio’s opera Splitting/Absence, in development with National Sawdust.
This multi-phase operatic work explores the life and legacy of 1970s artist Gordon Matta-Clark, whose radical interventions redefined urban spaces.
Each chapter of the opera is supported by a different commissioner, with Historias commissioning the New York chapter.
