Flatland — A 33-Song Musical Book Across 22 Chapters

THE FELICITY STATION PRESENTS

Flatland

Flatland is already mapped as a complete 33-song musical book across all 22 chapters. Part One builds the rules, classes, prejudices and controlled perception of the Plane. Part Two breaks the world open through Lineland, Spaceland and Pointland, until A Square is left with a truth his society would rather imprison than hear.

The score begins by making geometry into society: houses, rank, recognition, gender, education, regularity and colour all become musical subjects. The second half then turns the dimensional argument into drama as A Square becomes first the skeptic, then the witness, and finally the prisoner trying to leave testimony behind.
