SongShip Argosy (SS Argosy) is a spaceship in the galaxies whose main
mission is to keep the peace among the Cosmos by the power of music.
SongShip Argosy’s Musical was created to carry the Music and Poetry of
every Race to every place, giving the audience a sense of togetherness—
regardless of race, color, or creed —through music! SS Argosy combines
poetry from multiple languages with new cosmic romantic melodies, and
modern dance to create a bilingual, musical galactic story that engages the

In a marketplace hungry for originality (Hadestown, Hamilton, West Side Story immersive theater, anime-inspired visuals),
SongShip Argosy occupies a unique and timely space.
In a galaxy ravaged by endless wars, the Preenz of Planet Sufrut dreams of peace through music. He builds
SongShip Argosy, a vessel staffed not by soldiers but by musicians, poets, dancers, and programmers. Its mission: to
collect and share the music of every civilization—including Earth. The Preenz appoints his brilliant but ruthless sister,
the Kontessa of Turfus, to co-command the ship alongside a wise Admiral. Secretly, the Kontessa weaponizes the
Argosy’s sonic technology, destroying the musical abilities of the Kanoos, a proud race of robotic-humanoid
musicians. Reduced to rhythm but stripped of melody, the Kanoos become tools of her ambition. Together, they
destroy the Palace of Sufrut, killing the Preenz and his family—except for a baby girl, Sorana, and her Nanny, who
survives and is hidden away in a space orphanage.
DECADES LATER. Sorana has grown into a radiant young woman with a mysterious, healing voice. As political
alliances form and a royal wedding approaches, secrets unravel: Sorana’s royal lineage, the Kontessa’s betrayal, and the
truth about the Kanoos. In the climactic wedding ceremony, music—once weaponized—becomes liberation. Sorana leads a
children’s choir, proving that harmony can be restored. Forgiveness replaces vengeance. Music reclaims its power as a
force for unity.

In a galaxy torn apart by war, The Preenz of Planet Sufrut dreams of peace through music. He builds the

poets, musicians, dancers and programmers the ship’s mission is to explore the cosmos and gather musical
traditions from every world it visits, including Planet Earth.

Turfus, to Command the ship, as a Captain, alongside the wise Admiral. The Kontessa secretly weaponizes
the SS Argosy’s sonic technology, using its powerful speakers to destroy the musical essence of a proud
Yellow/Robot-Humanoid Musicians known as the Kanoos. With their voices of melodies and harmony
silenced, the Kanoos become The Kontessa instruments of destruction. Together, they attack Planet Sufrut
the Preenz’s palace and killing his family—except for a baby girl, and her Nanni who survive. The Kontessa
covers up the crime and places the baby girl named Sorana and her Nanni in a Space Orphanage while
secretly watching over her. Eventually, the Kontessa is removed from commanding SS Argosy, but her
ambitions remain forever.
