Worthless is an opera about a person’s internal quest on self-discovery. It takes the main character Paidion through different time periods to confront the sources of her fears – her parents, and ultimately makes her contemplate on her upbringing. This piece was written to bring awareness of mental health issues and how childhood traumas can affect one’s personalities and life choices. It is also centered around the dual natures on human-beings and the world around us.
