VORTEX presents a sci-fi fantasy action odyssey with a new production of its hit cyber-opera Elytra. This epic story presents the world of the "Elytra", four female Insect-Angels who awaken in Heaven and find it in need of repair. Their attempts at reconstruction are at times satirical and erotic and at other times sinister and tragic. Audiences will be amazed by the extraordinary spectacle of the costumes, scenery, lighting, and sound.
