An opera based on the writings of the artist Liu Xia and her Nobel Prize-Winning partner, the activist Liu Xiaobo. Xiaobo and Xia faced years of separation during Xiaobo’s political imprisonment. ‘Transfiguring distance’ and ‘entrusting life to love beyond the limits of distance’, Xia and Xiaobo fought for love, dignity, and freedom in the face of oppression and enforced separation.
