Lars Jan/Early Morning Opera
As the artistic director of Early Morning Opera - a transdisciplinary art lab specializing in technically innovative performance - I initiate and collaborate on works that span and integrate genre, invest in complex explorations of language and ideas, and assert the vital function of live events in our increasingly mediated lives.
As the son of two first generation émigrés to the US -
my father from Poland, my mother from Afghanistan - I have always felt a
heightened interest in the world beyond our borders, and a special
responsibility to constructively participate in acts of cross-cultural
translation and exchange. Without question, my thirst for travel is profoundly
connected to my identity as an artist, as it is exposure to the world that most
fuels my imagination. Having lived abroad in Japan, traveled obsessively in
Central Asia, and undertaken creative expeditions in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and
soon Haiti, I explore these experiences - and how they have spurred my thinking
about nations, borders, and the limitations of empathy across distance - through
my work.
