AUDITION: NYC ACTORS, DANCERS AND OPERA SINGERS

IBOC invites actors, dancers and opera singers for the audition of ASYLUM, an immersive operatic theater performance presented by International Brazilian Opera Company, with music composed by João MacDowell, conceived and directed by Regina Miranda, from an original idea by C.R. Morgan.

Inspired by “The Alienist” – a short-story written in 1881 by Brazilian author Machado de Assis – the performance portrays the life in a 19th century asylum and offers a closer look into society’s forms of control of deviations from the norm.

AUDITION: We are seeking 20+ non-union actors and dancers to play roles of patients, medical interns, nurses and attendants, encouraging proposals of performers of all ethnic and racial backgrounds between the ages of 20-70, preferably with strong movement experience.
