Chornobyldorf: Archeological Opera In Seven Novels
Prototype Festival
Composed and directed by Roman Grygoriv and Illia Razumeiko
Libretto by Yurii Izdryk, Publii Ovidii Nazon, Ivan Kotlyarevskyy, and Illia Razumeiko
After surviving a series of disasters, the remaining descendants of humanity find themselves in a post-societal world following the death of capitalism, opera, and philosophy. Wandering amongst the ruins of nuclear power plants, abandoned churches, theaters, and galleries, they try to recreate lost civilization through archeological performance-rituals, universal symbols, and signs which are ultimately misinterpreted and gradually dissolve into the white noise of nature.
There will be a talkback following the performance on Sunday, January 14.
