Join Cynthia Hopkins and her collaborators for the 3rd and final chapter of her Accidental Trilogy: an immersive exploration of time, space, and the pros and cons of evolution. An epic folk tale from the far distant future, The Success of Failure (or, The Failure of Success) is the heroic saga of Ruom Yes Noremac's secret mission to save the world. During the course of her lonely journey through space, Ruom Yes Noremac realizes that only by failing to save the Earth can she succeed in saving The Universe. This inter-galactic tale is told through Accinosco's signature hybrid of thought-provoking text, heart-wrenching songs, and handcrafted videoscapes.
