SHOOT! is a one-act operatic monodrama that explores systems of oppression that employ security forces as a mechanism for pitting regular citizens against one another. The opera follows a young member of the Venezuelan National Guard who is forced to accept conflicting embodied identities as enforcer and victim of these systems of oppression. The Soldier is steered by the unspoken guidance of a reflection of themself as a victim of state-sponsored violence and the Goddess María Lionza, a revered figure of Venezuelan folk spirituality with roots in Native Venezuelan myth and Afro-Caribbean ritual performance practices. SHOOT! employs influences of Venezuelan folk music, specifically the Tonada, a genre of work songs popularized in the mid-to-late 20th century by Venezuelan singer-songwriter Simon Diaz. The instrumentation includes the use of the cuatro, a Venezuelan four string instrument similar to a ukelele, as well as audio fixed media and live audio signal processing. The libretto for the opera was inspired by the poems of Venezuelan poet and politician Andrés Eloy Blanco, the love letters of Simón Bolívar and Manuela Saens, and the writings of Alfredo Cabrera. The cast consist of four roles: The Soldier (lead singing role), The Mirror Self (reflection of the soldier as a protester), The Narrator, and La Reina (The Goddess). The staging for SHOOT! incorporates projections generated in part through generative artificial intelligence, specifically employing Stable Diffusion and Deforum accessed via the Great Lakes Slurm HPC Cluster at the University of Michigan. Additionally, commercially available models for image and video generation, frame interpolation, and upscaling are utilized. The identities and perspectives presented in the opera are grounded in documentary research and interviews conducted in Venezuela with current followers of María Lionza. SHOOT! premiered in the Duderstadt Video Studio at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, on April 11th, 2025.
