Elektrische Fische

About

The opera is based on the young adult novel by Susan Kreller and the play by Barbara Kantel and Brancko Janack. In the production, the leading team led by Dutch director Kenza Koutchoukali focuses on the constant and close interaction between singers and musicians. The stage consists of five movable elements that reflect the five layers of the ocean. They are moved and rearranged by the performers themselves to illustrate the atmosphere of each scene. Sometimes concrete, sometimes abstract, they show different locations such as the classroom, Levin's home or the multi-layered ocean with its mystical depths.
