The Brazilian Opera
Wild Flower is a new opera in development by the Harlem-based International Brazilian Opera Company and composed by João MacDowell (Brazil/USA). The opera is the true story of the opera’s librettist and human rights activist, Nina Smart (Romania/Sierra Leone/USA). It explores themes of girls empowerment, patriarchy, race, heritage, love, womanhood, West/Non-West, migration, and body politics.
Young Geanina is asked to choose between her Romanian family and a stranger, her biological father, a diplomat from Africa. Her choices send her spiraling towards initiation into a secret society. While in Africa, Nigeria teaches her how to be rebellious, Sierra Leone tests her courage, and Geanina carves her destiny by fleeing to the United States – as depicted in the final scene and aria presented.
