Philip Venables’s “4.48 Psychosis,” which is based on the late Sarah Kane’s 2000 play and runs through Jan. 12 at the Baruch Performing Arts Center, is a marquee offering at the Prototype Festival, a two-week showcase that sets the pace for contemporary opera in New York City. The piece externalizes the private agony of depression: a cast of identically dressed women gives voice to the protagonist’s despair through vocal glissandos, eerie harmonies, and claustrophobic gasps against a backdrop of buzzing and fractured sounds.

“In the light of what Black women often willingly sacrifice for our children and our men, this is a much-needed exhortation, no matter what illegitimate use the white media makes of it. This call for self-value and self-love is quite different from narcissism. Narcissism comes not out of self-love but out of self-hatred.”
