In their first opera production, Susanne Kennedy and Markus Selg create a futuristic total work of art about space and time. With their unmistakable theatrical language, they break the boundaries between man and machine, reality and simulation. Inspired by the unconventional genius Albert Einstein, Philip Glass created a masterpiece of the 20th century that breaks all the rules of opera and does not follow a linear narrative structure. Repetitive patterns enable time to be experienced as a sensual phenomenon and put the audience into a trance. For the first time, the two special ensembles Basler Madrigalisten and Ensemble Phoenix can be seen together in an opera production by Theater Basel.
