 R! FUTURITY is an original indie-rock musical by Brooklyn-band The Lisps. 
 A theatrically staged song cycle\, FUTURITY tells the story of a Union sol
 dier in the Civil War who is an aspiring inventor. The work fuses traditio
 nal Americana\, found text\, experimental music\, and The Lisps' own brand
  of quirky co-ed pop.\nFUTURITY chronicles the experiences of young Julian
  Munro\, an aspiring inventor and science fiction visionary in 1864 who sp
 ends his days breaking up Confederate railroad tracks as a grunt in the Un
 ion army. Julian copes with the destruction and monotony around him by ima
 gining a far-fetched science fiction future. Guided by his brilliant mento
 r\, the famous metaphysician Ada Lovelace\, Julian weaves an epic fantasy 
 that folds a utopian\, high-tech future back into the dark reality of war.
  Though a long distance collaboration Julian and Ada attempt to devise an 
 omnipotent steam-powered artificial intelligence destined to end war and a
 ll of humanity's attendant miseries. The music in FUTURITY melds tradition
 al Americana\, Brechtian choral elements and contemporary indie-rock\, res
 ulting in a unique and compelling portrait of war\, human imagination\, an
 d technological hubris.\n \nmusic and lyrics by C&eacute\;sar Alvarez with
  The Lisps\nbook by Molly Rice and C&eacute\;sar Alvarez\ndirected by Sara
 h Benson\n
