  This program is part of the Coffey Street Studio Artist Initiative, 2026: Andromache Chalfant, Michael Sharkey, Michael Sexton & Olivia Mermagen, Artistic Producers. The initiative is designed to give artists the opportunity to develop new work in the studio over the course of one to two weeks. The work will be made possible by a stipend, collaborative support from the studio’s artistic team, and limited technical support. At the end of the residency, resident artists will share selections from their works-in-progress in Performance/Talks: readings, dance, music, etc., interwoven with discussion of the work in conversation with a moderator as well as special guest artists, philosophers, scholars, civic and community leaders.

  This is the story of Lali and Beng, a journalist and aid worker held captive. No one knows where they’ve been taken or if they are alive. Or, maybe their story is being broadcast to the world?

  A story about intimacy, surrender, and the will to live.

  Co-composed by Paola Prestini and Sxip Shirey with a libretto by Winter Miller adapted from her original play, No One Is Forgotten is a groundbreaking opera, fully designed to be delivered to its audience in the form of an immersive operatic radio play, an ‘invisible opera,’ using cutting edge immersive audio technology.

  Through the soundscape of foley arts, actors, electronics, cello, and classical vocalists, this is a world where the audience can experience storytelling purely through sound and their imagination. By creating a work that is delivered directly to you in an intimate and portable format, our goal is to invite you to close your eyes and open your imagination, and enter the world of Lali and Beng.
