Staged in a tumble-down 1930s ballroom, The Seven Deadly Sins was a site-specific operatic experience, performed in and around the audience.

​

Performed by one singer and one dancer, and using dozens of old suitcases as set, props and special effects, this production put the piece's sensuality, violence and commodification within touching distance, forcing the audience to stay alert and flexible as the two sisters worked their way around the room, singing, dancing, and fighting their way through the wild capitalist spasms of the early 20th century United States.

​

"Staged in perfect harmony with the experimental vision of its authors... pumps more excitement into one short act than most productions do in two long ones. The staging is as innovative as the piece, and the experience is utterly unlike a conventional night at the theatre (or opera, or ballet, or whatever)" - theatreview.co.nz, 14/05/2011

​

"Intensely and cleverly staged by Steven Whiting... the audience is inextricably involved by the clever use of spaces. Powerful and poignant... Go if you can, this is a rare and intimate experience - the memories will linger." - Capital Times, 20/05/2011
