Artistic Member Lex Brown Screening/Philly Premiere in Skinner Studio

Doors Open 2:30pm Film Starts 3:00pm runtime: 60 minutes

Carnelian is an eclectic musical work written by Lex Brown and co-composed by Samuel Beebe. In the course of a single day, Necyria, Bicyclus, and Orachrysops await the imminent arrival of a cataclysmic event, referred to as the “Boom.”

Throughout 8 songs, each character contends with their own definition of power, whether it be natural, political, or technological.

Carnelian asks when we will recognize that the “Boom” is already here, and how does our humanity endure, in spite of itself, through these existential threats?
