Johan Dehollander & Frank Nuyts & Philippe Blasband & Lod

In 'Middle East' Philippe Blasband describes the failure of the 2001 peace negotiations between the mortal enemies Israel and Palestine. He focuses on the moment when both protagonists take their places at the negotiation table. The moment when nobody has yet spoken. What are they thinking? How can they talk about a reality that is so different for both of them? 'Middle East' is a hybrid chamber opera for two actors, a singer and an orchestra, with music by Frank Nuyts.
