The Phenomenal Cage, a one-woman opera-in-progress by Griffin Candey and Joshua McGuire, is an ambitious and transformative project that delves into the poignant journey of a woman's relentless pursuit of liberation from social confinements. This narrative explores the universal human experience of yearning for freedom, resonating particularly in the context of modern society. It confronts social structures and challenges the confinements inhibiting women. The story follows Kara, a woman who, despite all odds, failures, and betrayals, finds the hope and strength she needs to move forward in her life.
