Aeterno Elementum
Aeterno Elementum is the first original heavy metal opera from Ara’Kus Productions. Staged originally on July 31st, 2010 an again on November 19th, 2010, it tells the story of a world descending into darkness and it’s inevitable purification. It combines dark, atmospheric, story-driven performance theater with Ara’Kus’ signature style of symphonic, operatic heavy metal to create an experience that is greater than the sum of it’s parts.
AE tells the story of a world not entirely unlike our own which has descended into darkness, and of it’s inevitable and violent purification. Featuring fire dancing, aerial performance, acrobatic martial artists, fully armed and armored knights in large scale combat, and a cast of highly talented actors and musicians of all types, this is a spectacle that must be witnessed in order to be fully understood.
