Santa Fe Bus Opera - RUTA
About the Project and this Blog
- Littleglobe's RUTA Project
- Bus Opera 2010-2011 Santa Fe, NM Littleglobe, in collaboration with Santa Fe residents who live along the city bus routes, is creating RUTA is an interactive new opera that will premiere on active city bus lines in 2011. Do you live along a bus route? Or ride the bus? Or would you like to? Because we would like to hear from you. We are writing an opera but we need invite your participate by riding the bus and submitting stories, dreams, and personal thoughts and people who live along the bus routes. The full opera will span two different bus routes taking riders to various parts of the city and introducing them to riders whose interwoven stories are revealed, in full, over the course of the three routes. RUTA takes the audience into a web of relations that express the uniqueness of place and the multiplicity of community life. Like other Littleglobe Common Ground projects, RUTA promotes the integration of art and daily life, fosters and restores connections within and across communities, creates meaningful dialogue, and manifests real collaboration between artists and community residents.
