MI(SA)

MI(SA) is an operatic triptych formed by Ariel Ramírez’ Misa Criolla, Guido Haazen’s Missa Luba, and Nuwe Verbond by Antoni Schonken and Antjie Krog. Krog incorporated personal stories from members of the CTO Chorus into her haunting text for “a scientific Mass that exorcises the damage we do to each other, and to our planet.”
