The Terrible Children by Glass, lør. 20 nov. 2021, Fra (2021/2021), Instrueret af Dóra Barta, Dirigent Péter Dobszay, Eiffel Art Studios, Budapest, Hungary

It is rare for a work on opera stages where singers and dancers are on the same scene, the story unfolds from their common, reciprocal expressive power. This can be seen in the three-piano dance opera Dangerous Eden, composed in 1937 by the world-famous composer Philip Glass, born in Baltimore as the last part of his own Jean Cocteau trilogy. In the story of Paul and Lise, the two children are prisoners and victims of a world of their own imagination, creating a world in their games that they can no longer separate from reality. The piece is perceived as Cocteau’s belief in the transcendent power of imagination and creativity, in which singers and dancers take turns presenting events. This is not the first time that Dóra Barta, the director's choreographer, has staged a Philip Glass play. Already the Opera 2016 invitation,Philip Glass’s music world is very danceable and frees the director. His music opens up a range of associations and therefore a wide range of possibilities for the creator. All of his music is almost transcendental, which is a great gift for minimalist dance theater. This allows you to create a performance rich in images and sensual content. "
