Trailer zu A Cockroach's Tarantella / Zolle

From now on, the Lucerne Theatre will portray a female composer every season. The composer, multi-instrumentalist and performance artist Du Yun will be a guest in the first season. Du Yun is a wanderer between worlds: born in China, she now lives in New York, but travels around the world for her projects ("Future Traditions", "Where we lost our shadows").

In her two musical theatre works, which will be heard for the first time in Switzerland, she deals with questions of belonging and being lost between the worlds: In the entertaining chamber opera "A Cockroach's Tarantella", a cockroach depicts the hardships of her life – and has a lot to say. In "Zolle" a spirit speaks to us who wants to return to earth. A longing that Du Yun interprets above all musically: her surprising sound language, which she expands in many ways with the tonal possibilities of electronics, also runs through a quiet memory of Italian opera again and again. This play with musical present and past combines in Du Yun's compositions to form an intense moment in the now, at the center of which we listeners stand.

For the director of the double evening, Roscha A. Säidow, who always looks for spatial installations for sound in her productions, Du Yun's works are acoustic escapes into a paradisiacal state.
