CRÉATION(s):
Káťa Kabanová
Is GoD dead?
Within the collaborative opening production of the interim opera venue OPAL, scenes from different operas were connected by telling stories of genesis - the ungoing failure of creation whilst the development of human species.
By scenes from Janáčeks Káťa Kabanová, the appropriation of nature for economic usage and the abuse of power within nearly eradicated ressources is performed within a psychoanalytically toxic family structure.
The two narrating protagonists, "god" and "devil" start interacting by entering the scene and either finding beauty within or being shaken by the loss of godly morals.
Release: OPAL Nationaltheater Mannheim, October 2024
