BELARION: A SPACE OPERA

We invite you to join Jack Parsons, renowned Rocket Scientist and Occult practitioner, for a very special soirée. We will be moving throughout the building. Follow Jack wherever he goes…

The immersive, experimental opera serves as both a loving tribute and theatrical dramatization of Jack Parsons’ scientific and magickal practices, and the fascinating space in which his two passions internally collided. We hope this piece inspires you to learn more about the special man from Pasadena that always dreamt of launching a rocket to the moon, right here from the Arroyo Seco.
