OPERA XXI / - there is no why here -

Andrea Molino


The distinction between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ is no longer only crystal clear to religious leaders. George Bush also knew that his ‘war on terror’ was a ‘war of good against evil’.

However, on reflection, in our globalized and multicultural world it seems impossible to give an objective, universally accepted definition of these two concepts. Following Hannah Arend, - there is no why here - describes ‘the fundamental problem of the nature and function of human judgement’, and the issue of responsibility. The production does not aim to provide ready-made solutions or statements, but rather to provide a multitude of different, contradictory contributions. Live video images, recorded by cameras on stage or by external webcams, form an organic counterpoint to the performance. The musicians play the video, which is part of the musical composition, like an instrument.
