COMMUNE

COMMUNE is a gang of classical musicians coming together to celebrate feminine power through music. High-pitched voices and wind instruments become playful weapons against opportunism and binary oppositions. The ghost of a communist grandma appears to boost the enthusiasm: her virtuosic arias become a lesson in activism. The performers outline a joint action plan to face a hypothetical upcoming catastrophe.

COMMUNE is an eclectic, fast-paced, critical and ironic work that tackles urgent issues with humour, a musical tribute to protesting women. Inspired by the women's strike in Poland, Pussy Riot and hydro-feminism, it proposes new politics within the context of baroque and contemporary opera. Rosa Luxemburg meets Generation Z in a colourful and eccentric garden for a group therapy session where classical music becomes the shared language of dissent. COMMUNE speculates that real change starts with a shift in our collective subconsciousness. Opera to the people!
