MelanchoLalaland

01/13/2025

The J. Bargsten/T.Zimmer team is back (and you probably didn’t even know you missed us)! We've been revived from the dead (reanimated!) and we're starting up a Substack site concerned with Bargsten's and Zimmer's art projects and writings (and hopefully even a revival of Melancholalaland at some point) with the intention to also feature submissions, opinions, comments of everyone. Check it out! Follow and subscribe! It's free!

A showcase of Thea Zimmer's and Joey Bargsten's writing, film, XR, opera, music, welcoming opinions and contributions from other artists, composers and writers who are emerging after 40 and may be autodidacts or with advanced degrees.

MelanchoLalaland: “Bawdy, a bit looney perhaps,” says the opera’s librettist Thea Zimmer. She set out to write lyrical prose that Joey Bargsten could set to music but also write a narrative that brings out a bit of the clown in everyone involved. Come one, come all Sunday, 9/13, to MelanchoLalaland! See the 3 live vocalists and their supporting cast, the 2 dance films, the animations, and more! Tickets $13/$15 online/at door. There’s $1/hr. parking in City garages. Come to this premiere: Sunday, 9/13, at Miami Beach Cinematheque. Show starts promptly at 3:00 p.m. Doors open at 2:30.
