Abstract
- The article explores immersive theater's relation in form and content to the study of adaptation by focusing on pop opera "Here Lies Love" by American musician David Byrne. Topics include the opera's reflection on its biological subject, former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos, by deconstructing a conventional means of storytelling, and the its implication of the audience and viewers in the commodification of selves into celebrities.
