Opera (Terni/Italy)
„OPERA“
Visual theatre
German premiere

Company
Opera was founded in 2006 by Vincenzo Schino and is considered to be one of the most original ensembles in the Italian independent theatre scene. Opera works both in- and outside theatre and, from its fusion of painting, sculpture, music, film and theatre, it has developed an artistically independent expressive power that operates outside fleeting trends.

Performance
A circus ring behind a tatty gauze and some transparencies full of holes, the distant sound of children’s voices, bird-headed people … In the flickering light, Arlecchino, the fool of the Commedia dell’Arte, appears – walking the line between dream and trance. The clown: one of the Damned, a Masked One, a Traveller who is never quite what he seems. One who stands for nothing and who doesn’t believe that words produce images of reality. OPERA comes across like a prehistoric evocation, with its imagery of depersonalisation and de-realisation – like a pre-stage of thought. Or like an inconsolable fresco on the existence of humans and their incapacity to become aware of themselves.
