About The Theory of Everything

The Theory of Everything, a new opera commissioned and developed by Encompass New Opera Theatre

Commissioned and developed by Encompass New Opera Theatre, The Theory of Everything is a new full-length music drama explores science, spirituality and indigenous cosmology.

Inspired by physics’ superstring theory which postulates the simultaneous existence of at least 10 dimensions, and that everything in the universe – from our bodies to the farthest star – is made up of vibrating strings, the story revolves around the lives of 8-year-old Cassy, her mother Rachel, a documentary filmmaker, and her father Tomás, a quantum physicist from Brazil who is studying the cosmology of the Q`ero Indians.  Dramatic events catapult a scientific and metaphysical search into other dimensions and alternate universes.
