ABOUT THE ARTISTS
OUROBOROS Trilogy, conceived by Charles M. Jacobs and Cerise Lim Jacobs, is a vision long deferred, beginning in places as disparate as Brooklyn, New York and colonial Singapore, and then spanning the globe in a world-wide sojourn of place, time, space and mind. Unable to find the voice to express her concept of reality in art and lacking the courage to try, Cerise practiced law for 25 years. Her marriage to Charles Jacobs, a free-spirited entrepreneur and raconteur, freed her from convention and together, the Jacobs conceived of OUROBOROS - the snake eating its tail, simultaneously dying and regenerating - a metaphor for the natural, political, philosophical and religious state of our world. They launched one opera in the Trilogy, Madame White Snake, to great acclaim in 2010. Charles died shortly thereafter. On the second anniversary of his passing, Cerise determined to complete the OUROBOROS circle. OUROBOROS Trilogy is the Jacobs' tribute to those who dared leap into the void before, those who are in midair now and those who will come after.
