Command Voice is an evening-length opera, created by Likeness to Lily along with visual artist Justin Waldstein and co-director Alison Fleminger. The work was developed in the Tribeca Performing Arts Center Artist-in-Residence Program and premiered in June 2010.
Command Voice centers on the process of healing injury in a world where technology allows us to exceed our human limitations, while at the same time compelling us to confront the ambiguous consequences of the power it bestows. Set in the very near future, Command Voice tells the story of a returning Marine Corps combat veteran, his religious-minded wife, and the scientist whose controversial trans-humanist medical intervention promises far more than a routine procedure for all involved.
