    Visual Aesthetic of Tiliard and The Works of Vermin

    Hiron Ennes, author of The Works of Vermin, held an AMA (Ask Me Anything) in Reddit (linked here), and one of the interesting questions posed was basically which opera inspired/aligns with The Works of Vermin. Ennes' response included a reference to Stefano Poda's Elisir d'Amore, which captures the visual aesthetic of Tiliard in all its weird, fantastical, botanical goodness. I'd like to share a few pictures from Stefano Poda's website for this opera, because they really do capture that aesthetic and the fashion!

    A luscious and lyrical ode to a sexually transmitted city. Poetry in a novel.

    An exploration of connection, vulnerability, dreams, & disappointments. The feeling of yearning and nostalgia encapsulated in the desire to go to a home that never was, to a simpler time that was lie.

    Adults forget how to play make-believe because if they remember they'll recognize that what we've been taught to want is meaningless. But humans are nonsensical that way. We are bodies. We are needy. We are damaged. We are loved. We are linked.
