OIU members and students interested in Music/Drama would find the production particularly interesting. ABOUT Metropolis is a brand new musical adaptation. Based on Thea Von Harbou’s original dystopian, science-fiction novel from 1925, the story presents a futuristic city with a false utopia that exists above a bleak hidden reality. Metropolis is considered one of the most influential science-fiction novels of all time. Produced by Little Eggs Collective in association with Hayes Theatre Co, see the story turned into a live theatre experience – with an original new score. The Little Eggs Collective create contemporary theatre across mediums including live music, movement, spoken word and beyond.
