In August 2022, The Grind in the Higgins University Center was transformed into a movie set for “Oblivion,” an opera composed by Professor John Aylward and inspired by Dante’s “Purgatorio,” which explores the concepts of redemption and memories.

Excerpts from the film will be screened in the Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons tonight — Wednesday, November 20 — at 7 p.m., followed by a talkback session with Aylward and director Laine Rettmer.

📆 See link in bio for event details.
