A variable, large ensemble work that thematizes disappearance, apocalypse, abstraction, and prophecy. The work lasts several hours and is organized in seven sections with an extended poem connecting the work, spoken by the narrator.

We burned continents of silence the future of nations”
-Etel Adnan, from “The Arab Apocalypse”
