Robots and AI have been a fascination of us all for a very long time and Ex Machina is an exploration of those curiosities. The general framework would consist of androids that could be represented by the color guard, slowly rejecting their programming over the course of the production, leading to an epiphany of original thought to close the show. Props wise this show could use metallic structures (gears, circuit boards, wires)
The highlight of the show is an arrangment of the classic song "House of the Rising Sun" which features a trombone soloist. This song is the cornerstone of the entire show, as we started with this arrangement and are built everything else around it. Not only is it recognizable and a perfect fit, it also does not have any copyrights!
"Desperado' was written by Fred Emory Smith and John Mapes. It was originally commissioned for the fall of 2024 and was released for the 2025 season.
*Perusal score available upon request
