The Vertical City by Diana Burbano, directed by Dámaso Rodríguez with music composition and sound design by Rodolfo Ortega.

ART and TAC shifted focus to theatre works adapted into digital mediums, and co-produced a new audio drama starring 2nd-Year Conservatory students. This 70-minute audio drama was written specifically for seven students by acclaimed playwright Diana Burbano, and directed by ART Executive Artistic Director Dámaso Rodríguez. Award-winning sound designer Rodolfo Ortega (ART’s Magellanica) has created a cinematic soundscape and original score for the piece. The Vertical City audio drama is a character study set in a future-Portland built to survive the effects of climate change, and imagines how technology might evolve society at the end of the 21st century, both for better and worse.
