Rebecca Hart is a New York City–based performer and writer returning to Catwalk after a 2024 Main Residency. She is continuing development of submersible, a darkly funny semi-opera inspired by the 2023 Titan submersible implosion. The piece lifts the event onto a mythic plane, giving voice to both the Titan and the Titanic as female characters. During the winter residency, Hart focuses on refining the libretto and shaping the theatrical and musical structure of the work in collaboration with composer David Kornfeld, advancing the next integrated draft of the piece.
