DIE TONIGHT – LIVE FOREVER A Club Opera

In the organizer's words:

It is an entry into a state of intoxication. The game of identities begins in the foyer - make-up, glitter, sunglasses. Those who enter here become part of a night that is not a night, an opera that dances, staggers and sweats. This club opera transforms the hall into a vibrating biotope of bass, voices and bodies. No rows of seats, no classical audience: whoever is there is right in the middle of it.

Three fates shine in the strobe light: a young woman who plunges into her own flood of thoughts after a therapy session; a broker who loses his sense of proportion in a chemsex frenzy; an exhausted woman who loses control of herself and her body - until nothing remains but the system's circling tiredness. The award-winning Israeli author Sivan Ben Yishai portrays these characters as feverish children of late capitalism, driven by self-entitlement, desire and a desire to crash. The three composers Benjamin Scheuer, Oxana Omelchuk and Michael Beil weave beats, soundscapes and instrumental islands into a breathless pulse - between club and chamber, ecstasy and collapse.

World premiere by the treppenhausorchester in co-production with the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen. A Club Opera merges new music and club culture and invites the audience to dance. And so this club opera glides over into a DJ set at the end of the evening: Identity, music and space blur.

The compositions were commissioned by the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen and made possible by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.
