INTRODUCING
A SYMPHONY FOR SAINT-GEORGES
Born in Guadeloupe to an enslaved mother and a wealthy plantation-owner father, Joseph Bologne was once described as "the most accomplished man in France." As a champion fencer, an esteemed violinist, father, and composer, Bologna is said to have inspired musicians like Mozart. But even he was not immune to the realities of racism. His story has been buried by history.
Join us as we bring Joseph Bologne de Chevalier Saint-Georges back to life so he can tell his historic, inspiring, and under-told story.

A Symphony for Saint-Georges
is a multi-disciplinary, ambulatory installation piece designed to encourage social distancing in this time of pandemic. Patrons will viscerally experience the life of Saint-Georges as they walk through five environments created by sculpture, music, projections, and set design. Our artists have been independently working on this show for months, and Curio Theatre hopes to open it responsibly to the public in early 2021, or whenever it is safe to do so.
Tickets are available for individual households or pods at thirty minute intervals, and audience members will be required to wear masks. This piece does not use live actors.
Curio will be releasing more information about this production in the coming months, so please check back here or our social media channels for more information.
