An OM (or opera-masquerade) is our interdisciplinary and collaborative performance system, which includes songs, poems, choreography, symbolic actions, photographs, and installations. The works have been presented in galleries, clubs, universities, theaters and online. Each OM compound contains one or more 'story complexes' built on foundational myths, source texts, and documentary and autobiographical components. The Four Electric Ghosts codex establishes the Ani Story Complex"--Page 3.
