Biography
Thoughts transcend. Mysteries materialize. Dreams are revealed. Scott Silven is a modern-day marvel like no other. As an acclaimed illusionist, mentalist, and performance artist, Silven pushes the boundaries of his craft by creating stylish, smart, and uniquely immersive performances that mesmerize audiences across the globe. Hailed by Vogue as a ‘world-renowned mentalist’, his work has been described as ‘a marvel’ (The New York Times), ‘mesmerizing’ (Town and Country), ‘truly astonishing’ (The Daily Beast), ’unforgettable’ (Entertainment Weekly), and theatre that ‘wows everyone’ (The New Yorker), through a combination of ’elegance, sheer mind power, and profound philosophical insight’ (Manhattan Digest). From a locked box to an old pocket watch, as a child, Scott reveled in mystery. This innate fascination with the enigmatic and unexplainable guided him to explore the intricacies of the mind at a young age, and evoked a sense of wonder that he knew he had to share with others. This, in turn, led him to studying hypnosis in Milan at the tender age of 15 and quickly progressing to a degree in Contemporary Performance in Edinburgh, Scotland. On graduating, Silven immediately used this background in performance art and illusion, coupled with a passion for psychology and his knowledge of the human mind, to begin developing truly singular theatrical experiences that yield an immersion into the impossible.

Biography
UtahPresents
Now, at just 30 years old, his work is extensive in scale. From working within the medium of both theatre and television, Silven crafts his own productions that appear across the world to critical acclaim. But from an intimate table to a grand stage, Silven’s objectives remain absolute: to orchestrate an awe-inspiring experience, to reveal the mysterious side of human nature, and, ultimately, to lead his audiences to a place that suggests untold possibilities, a place that challenges perceptions; a place that allows them to look at the world, and themselves, in an extraordinary way.

ALICE PERFORMED BY U OF U YOUTH THEATRE BASED ON ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND BY LEWIS CARROLL April 12-13 • Kingsbury Hall
Bring the whole family for this original musical production of Alice, based on the Lewis Carroll classic and reimagined by Youth Theatre’s Penny Caywood.

DIALOGUES DES CARMELITES PERFORMED BY UNIVERSITY LYRIC OPERA ENSEMBLE AND UTAH PHILHARMONIA April 19-20 • Kingsbury Hall
Set during the French Revolution, Dialogues des Carmélites explores religious devotion and self-sacrifice through the harrowing story of Blanche de la Force, a shy, young aristocratic woman who joins the Carmelite Order to escape the violence of the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. With a gorgeous score, Poulenc’s opera is one of the most significant works of the 20th century. This dramatic and powerful tour-de-force, based on a true story, explores faith and redemption, fate and sacrifice.
