We are pleased to announce a new way to support the project. Director Joshua Frankel has produced three limited-edition silkscreen prints which celebrate the collaborative process of the opera’s creative team. Each silkscreen print is 23” wide by 17” tall and printed in an edition of 12. 100% of the proceeds will go towards supporting the production of the opera itself.

The first print in the series is a concept-art image created by Frankel as part of his animation process. It depicts a dripping air conditioner, a motif that dots the exteriors of Moses’ prolific housing developments, juxtaposed with a public swimming pool, representing one of Moses’ positive achievements. The air conditioner appears in Frankel’s film Mannahatta, which premiered at the BAM NextWave Festival in 2013 and marks the first animation studies for this opera. This print’s design includes a fragment from Smith’s libretto - a study for how selections of the libretto will be embedded into the opera’s animation.
