The premiere was May 25, 2018 at Symphony Space in New York City, produced by The Center for Contemporary Opera, directed by Jennifer Williams and featuring soprano Anke Briegel and Jeffrey Krieger on electric cello. A second production was featured the following month as part of Dark MOFO, a festival of music and art in Hobart, Tasmania, directed by Konstantin Koukias and featuring soprano Judith Weusten and Antonis Pratsinakis on electric cello.
