Nina Whiteman

presents Bagworm, a folk horror opera https://ninawhiteman.com/

Bagworm (a folk horror opera) is a multimedia DIY opera created and performed by Nina Whiteman. It is inspired by the fascinating bagworm (psychidae) moths, whose larvae construct a protective and camouflaging bag from items found in their environment, such as sand, lichen, sticks, and bits of dead insect. The opera presents a technologised Bagworm character, reflecting on threats to our wonderful and idiosyncratic species, such as light pollution and climate change. Bagworm is designed to tour sustainably in a suitcase via public transport. The opera will be presented in a specially revised quadrophonic version for Quad Tod.
