It is difficult to get away the fascination of “La Vida es Sueño“, the words and sound are with us embedded in the skin as a newborn.
This opera is a humble and brave approach to total heart, before the whirl of hues that the text hoards.
A woman’s voice, which deconstructs and hinds words of Segismundo and Rosaura, androgynous characters with the desire for freedom that doesn’t matter the gender.
An electronic background is mirror and alter ego and is emancipated as song, image or requiebro, internal groan. Space and light live on the scene, drawing our glances.
There are so many ways that to explore within the work, so many open doors; that this piece, here wakes up to some of them; but we still have life to cross the others.
