A quest for the truth beneath the reality
Winter. High up in the mountains a woman is found alone in a hut. She is suspected of killing her children. The interrogator who interviews the woman never receives a reply and slowly begins to question herself. As it becomes more and more difficult to find what has bever been missing, time passes, the fog thickens and clarity dissipates. For her new chamber opera ZELLE: Wenn es dunkel wird the British-Chinese composer and director once again join forces with the Swiss writer and librettist Peter Stamm. What binds them is the quest for what is real, for the truth beneath the reality. With influences including the dark surrealism of David Lynch, the narrative montage techniques of Jean-Luc Godard and Japanese Nō theatre, ZELLE: Wenn es dunkel wird explores the boundaries of what is visible, audible and knowable.
