The Double questions how our outward depiction of ourselves impacts our perceptions of reality. The opera’s troubled hero believes that his digital social profile, created by him, is acting independently in an attempt to take over his life.

Lumee, one of the two main characters (of the opera p r i s m), sings this aria while smoking outside a nightclub in the second act, providing a window into her selfish fantasies. Not a recorded section of the opera, but a companion piece meant to depict the character's imagined realities.
