Melusine by Rueda, Catalina, sre. 22 jun. 2022, Od (2022/2022), Režija: Thorsten Cölle,, Dirigent Alan Hamilton, Nord, Stuttgart, Germany

human and snake body? Man or woman? Human, animal or monster? Pretty or ugly? In her "hybrid monster opera" MELUSINE. What are you doing on Saturday? Catalina Rueda and Lisa Pottstock mix up all categories of attribution, the medieval legendary figure of Melusine meets Billie Eilish, Renaissance melodies meet the latest sounds and three female singers counteract the foreign attributions, judgments and projections with the joy of transformation and the ambiguity of identities. In six autonomous, associative images, a highly topical prism is created in which the three singers unite to form three facets of the Melusine figure, only to soon slip into a new (snake) skin. MELUSINE. What are you doing on Saturday? is the award-winning work of the newly announced Reinhold Otto Mayer Prize , which JOiN is the first cooperating institution to bring to the stage.
