Thompson Street Opera - Redención / The Boy Who Wanted to be a Robot

Thompson Street Opera Company's fall double bill tells two  stories of self-actualization and reclaiming identity. REDENCIÓN follows  the written correspondence between a man in prison for murder and an  anonymous penpal. Their mutual vulnerability with each other presents a  unique opportunity for answers, redemption, and peace. This work will be  sung in Spanish with projected English supertitles. 

THE BOY WHO WANTED  TO BE A ROBOT takes place in a future when humans can no longer  procreate. In a last-ditch effort, robots create a boy named Orgo to  continue the human race. However, the boy wants to be a robot, like his  friends. The robot king brings in a woman named Sally to teach the boy  to be human, but Orgo resists. Where can he find his place when he fits  in neither human nor robot society?
