Description into the SHIMMER HEAT began life as an experiment in 1995 between the Nova Ensemble and Spare Parts Puppet Theatre to create an opera for young people that examined the problem of youth suicide. By the time a highly successful public workshop presentation took place in 1997, the work had evolved into a sophisticated work for adults and adolescents that examined endurance, family, love, loss, the absurdity of life in a numinous universe and the ability of newcomers to find a spiritual home in a foreign landscape.
