A Camouflage Opera

A Camouflage Opera
György Kurtág: Attila József - Fragments

The German notion of Gesamtkunstwerk—a synthesis of disparate art forms brought together in harmonious collusion to express a unified vision—is central to this new groundbreaking musical-theater work that will be premiered on Friday 29 November 2019 at the Commissariat Store Museum.

Based on Kurtág’s only work for unaccompanied voice generates multiple trajectories and continuities across a diverse field of fragmentary utterances and literary and musical associations. Staged by Stephen Danzig and described as the ‘3D opera’ because of its unprecedented fusion of a live opera singer with film performances, soundscapes and multi-layered live video mapping. This performance creates a 3D theatre experience to unfold the sequence of the twenty fragments and will be followed by a panel discussion with the performers and invited industry experts.
