When Earth is beyond repair, where will we go to survive? In this lyrical odyssey, four women astronauts set out on a ninemonth journey to the planet Mars. Their mission: save humanity. But before they reach their destination, the expedition is taken over by a billionaire tech bro.

With its focus on the quirky details of life in zero gravity and its reflections on the absurdity of space travel, this new opera turns the Martian myth into a humorous meditation on isolation and the quest for meaning. In the ship, where the series Real Housewives is on a constant loop, tensions mount and relationships are tested.

Jenny Walshe is without a doubt one of the most imaginative and least conventional figures of the contemporary opera scene. Her charming language and biting wit have already won over vast audiences. MARS blends music, texts and gestures, as well as NASA recordings, archival images from former space programmes and clips from sci-fi films to create an immersive experience that is both surprising and joyful.

A major hit as soon as it premiered, this operatic UFO is now in France for the first time.
