Ululations and Gurgles of the Invisible

Guerilla Opera and Urban Jazz Dance Company present Ululations and Gurgles of the Invisible, a boundary-breaking chamber opera composed by Elisabet Curbelo and inspired by Federico García Lorca’s evocative poetry. This surrealist, interdisciplinary work blends opera, dance, and technology—uniting a soprano, pianist, percussionist, and a diverse ensemble of Deaf dancers who harness American Sign Language (ASL) as integral elements of the storytelling. Through innovative motion-sensor technology that unites gesture and sound, all performers—including instrumentalists—sign while playing, drawing audiences into a multisensory landscape where questions of communication, isolation, and transcendence are explored through movement, music, and visual narrative.
