Wouter Van Looy & Andrea Molino - Muziektheater Transparant

The distinction between good and evil appears to be clear not only to religious leaders. George Bush also knew that his ‘war on terror’ was ‘a war of good against evil’. However, on closer inspection, in a globalized and multicultural world it seems impossible to give an objective definition of these two categories, even though everyone accepts them. According to Andrea Molino, -‘there is no why here’- following Hannah Arendt’s thinking, outlines ‘the fundamental problem of the nature and function of human judgment’, as well as the problem of responsibility. The performance is not intended to offer solutions or posit clear statements, but rather to make a multitude of different, sometimes contradictory, contributions. Video images, filmed live by cameras on stage or by external webcams, create an organic counterpoint to the show. The musicians play the video, which is part of the musical composition, like an instrument.
Composer Andrea Molino works all over the world as an opera conductor and for many years was Musical Director of Pocket Opera Company in Nuremberg. In the cast we hear the exceptional voices of David Moss and Anna Linardou.
