Athanasia is a dystopian sci-fi musical that tells the story of Dr. Eve Horowitz, a pioneering geneticist who awakens in a Martian colony called The Red City after a 200-year cryo-sleep. The narrative explores her initial ambitions to achieve eternal life and her efforts to mend the strained relationship with her daughter, Hannah Horowitz, who has continued her mother’s genetic research and helped build a society on Mars. As Eve navigates the vibrant, quirky society and high-tech environment of The Red City, she uncovers the unethical use of gene editing and the pervasive conformity. She must find her place in this new world, so different from the Earth she left behind, and determine where she truly belongs.
