An Evening with Machine Dazzle, Meredith Martin, Jonathan Woody, Avi Stein, and Oliver Mercer         

Moderated by Ryan Brown, founder and artistic director of Opera Lafayette

FIAF and Opera Lafayette present a musical evening delving into the striking parallels between the classic extravagance of French Rococo style and the over-the-top aesthetic of Queer Maximalism.

Join costume designer Machine Dazzle, art historian Meredith Martin, musicians Jonathan Woody, Avi Stein, and Oliver Mercer, along with moderator Ryan Brown, founder and artistic director of Opera Lafayette, for music and lively conversation. The topic of contemporary resonance will be debated, while musicians perform excerpts from Opera Lafayette’s upcoming spring production of Rameau’s comedy ballet Io, premiering in New York at the Museo del Barrio on May 9.

Please note that the event has been moved from the FIAF Skyroom to FIAF Florence Gould Hall.
