Overview
Heterotopia: A New Rock Opera from Schooltree
Art rock ensemble Schooltree is releasing their long-awaited double album with a multimedia spectacular, integrating live music with light sculpture video installation that will transform OBERON into Otherspace. This first public performance will combine the music and imagery of Heterotopia into an immersive storytelling experience - a 3D concert which audiences will be able to walk right inside and become a part of.
In the story, underachiever Suzi loses her body and must make her way through a parallel world of the collective unconscious called Otherspace to get it back. But the road she must travel has been overtaken by shadows and chaos. In order to become whole again, Suzi must uncover the origins of this darkness, in a journey that takes her from the neon lights of her plasterboard horizon home to the bottom of a cursed river, where the fate of Otherspace and her own are inextricably linked.
Following the classic hero's quest in a modern urban setting, Heterotopia explores the themes of dystopia, dissociation, and the spaces we occupy - and how they interact with one another to create transformation.
