Be the first to experience Composer Tarik O’Regan‘s haunting and vocally intricate pieces, Matt Kish‘s vivid and colorful illustrations and large elephant tusk replicas, designed by Jon Altemus!

Z Space bartenders will be slangin’ signature cocktails  based on the Congo psychodrama! Such as “A Remarkable Man,” “The Gin Rivet,” and the “River Water Cooler.”

Based on the novella by Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness is a powerful opera that portrays the greedy world of ivory smugglers in Central Africa as narrated by the central character, Marlow. The plot unfolds through a series of short, fast-paced scenes that gradually increase in tension, as Marlow’s tale approaches its climax.
