Generations of man have attempted to overcome oppression only to be quieted either by overt aggression or by failing to keep hold of ideals in the face of culture's consolations. Today we knowingly, if not gleefully, submit ourselves to the global panopticon, where the peddlers of vice and the potential for trans-human salvation both reside. Curated by Daniel Wallace and Josh Pavlacky, "Temptations" draws parallels between the demands for freedom heard from youth culture around the globe and an internal quest for peace as we continue in the cycle of revolt and complacency.


Part 2: Contemporary uprisings have spawned the creation of a simultaneous physical and digital group-mind. Audience members face the persistent nag of culture's opiates on their path towards a trans-human Operetta inspired by The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.
