The Handmaid's Tale

A global environmental catastrophe resulting in subsequent human infertility has created fertile ground for a coup where a religious terror group has seized power. Fertile women are now forced into pregnancy and to hand over their new-born children to the elite regime. If they rebel, they are sentenced to slavery and certain death

Canadian writer Margaret Atwood’s award-winning dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale was penned in 1985 and has since been adapted to film as well as an award-winning television series.Danish composer Poul Ruders’ opera with libretto by Paul Bentley remains hyper-current, now 22 years after its Danish world premiere at the Royal Danish Theatre, and new productions are now being staged at several of the world’s opera houses.“Atwood takes aim at her large neighbour to the south, the United States, where she is aware there are forces lurking that if they gained the power they intend, they would be no strangers to the idea of enforcing an iron-grip religious regime, which the fictional Gilead in the opera indeed represents,” Ruders said in 2000.
