Opera Performance in English
"Golden Lion of Venice Biennale 2019"

You see a beach, a large tableau of tired limbs on a colourful mosaic of towels, laughing children. The subjects read, swipe through their phones, stretch out in the sand, apply sunscreen, eat ice cream, play cards and boccia. Single voices can be heard: the stories of those sunbathing, conversations, dreams and thoughts. Their individual songs are condensed to hymns of hope and crisis, laments about the ephemeral physique of the bathing people and about the worn-out earth.
