Peek, the last of the lighthouse keepers, has three loves: Gin, Tyle and Reeve. He is everything to them: refuge, knowledge, hope. But when Peek is confronted by his mechanical replacement, he must decide between his three dark women and the tower's light that he hopes desperately to save.

In this original operetta, created and performed by a stunning array of Calgary's theatre and music artists, Dust Particle Productions explores Peek's fatal dilemma through humour and tragedy, music and myth. The Opera Suicide is an epic journey that defies convention and reminds us that, in the end, we must each light our own way.

In a wartorn dystopian future, five characters spiral through each other's lives. A soldier, a prisoner, a general, a rebel, a doctor and a CEO come together on the chessboard of global conflict, where kings are sacrificed as easily as pawns.
