Hamed und Sherifa Moultaka

Als König Hamed aus dem Krieg zurückkommt, muss er feststellen, dass ihn seine Frau betrogen hat. Kurzum verweist er alle Frauen des Landes, nur seine Mutter darf bleiben. Prinzessin Sherifa kann diesen Blödsinn nicht dulden. Als Mann verkleidet kehrt sie zurück und gewinnt die Freundschaft des Regenten. Hamed wird unsicher: Ist der junge Herr wirklich ein Mann? Sherifa besteht alle Prüfungen, mit denen sich vermeintlich wahre Männlichkeit testen lässt. Als Hamed endlich die nackte Wahrheit herausbringen will – Sherifa soll ihn zum Baden begleiten – ist der »Freund« plötzlich übers Meer verschwunden. Hamed muss sich der Frage stellen, was eigentlich Männlichkeit und Weiblichkeit bedeuten.

Der Clou des Stückes: Drei männliche Sänger stellen alle Figuren dar. Das Setting der Kinderoper kommt wie ein orientalisches Märchen daher – die Fragestellung ist aber hochaktuell. Der libanesische Komponist Zad Moultaka setzt vielfältiges Schlagwerk ins Zentrum der kleinen Orchesterbesetzung.

Deutsch

For everyone aged eight and over
In an oriental fairytale ambience, the gender question is asked in a highly topical and extremely playful way.
When King Hamed returns from the war, he finds that his wife has cheated on him. In short, he expels all women from the country; only his mother is allowed to stay. Princess Sherifa cannot tolerate this nonsense. She returns disguised as a man and wins the Regent's friendship. Hamed becomes uncertain: Is the young gentleman really a man? Sherifa passes all the tests that supposedly test true masculinity. When Hamed finally wants to reveal the naked truth - Sherifa is supposed to accompany him to go swimming - the "friend" suddenly disappeared over the sea. Hamed has to face the question of what masculinity and femininity actually mean.

The highlight of the piece: three male singers portray all the characters. The setting of the children's opera looks like an oriental fairy tale - but the question is very topical. The Lebanese composer Zad Moultaka places diverse percussion at the center of the small orchestral line-up.
