Resurrectio: Act I
The premiere of Resurrectio: Act I at IndieFest sees Morgan-Paige kindle a new era of empowerment in this forthcoming chapter of her musical anthology. This denouement to the Requiem's End and silenced voices integrates spatial audio design, mixed digital media, and interactive technologies (VR) to illuminate the enduring impact of environment on identity, and the struggle to preserve ancestral heritage within colonial structures. In this transformative journey of self-discovery, this musical resurrection will reclaim what has been taken from the ancestors of the oppressed.
