L’amour rebelle explores sexuality and conflict by reimagining Georges Bizet’s classic opera Carmen. This loop shows Carmen releasing the feathers he has gathered. Warmed by his hands, they reform as birds and fly to freedom.
L’amour rebelle is the first-ever live opera on the blockchain. Created by Leo Crane, Merav Eldan and Zachary Whitney, it premiered with a performance in Los Angeles on 29 March 2022. These loops, hand-drawn in charcoal, are from the award-winning film, which launched at the Oscar-qualifying Provincetown International Film Festival in June 2022.
