ELECTRIC MESSIAH (2022)

Stage Director
Soundstreams & Crow’s Theatre
December 2022

Electric Messiah is an utterly immersive theatrical reimagining of Handel’s masterpiece featuring music and dance. The musical influences are as wide ranging as jazz, blues, hip-hop, gospel, classical, and global, creating a deeply personal connection to universal themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. Four extraordinary singers from diverse genres are accompanied by an eclectic instrumental ensemble that seamlessly melds the baroque with electronica.

Never the same two years in a row, ELECTRIC MESSIAH introduces new voices and interpretations: this year, it’s the world premiere of a new interpolation by composer Lieke van der Voort.
