Concept, text: Oblivia
Artistic direction: Annika Tudeer
Composition, sound design, electronics: Yiran Zhao
Costumes: Tua Helve
Lighting design: Meri Ekola
Performance Dramaturg: Alice Ferl, Anna-Maija Terävä

Project. As part of a celebrated collaboration with Yiran Zhao for the Stuttgart festival “Eclat”, Oblivia ventured into the special realm of music theatre for the first time in February 2020. The continuation of this collaboration within the framework of the feXm project “Obsessions” now includes musicians and singers from the ensembles of the participating theatres and, for the first time, other actors in addition to Oblivia’s performers. Three singers, three performers and six musicians wander through space and time, roaming the field of the political and the private and playfully unmasking the power of desire as the driving force of human behaviour.

Further development: Wuppertal Opera (premiere: 03.12.2022)

Dates: 19., 22., 27.02.2022 (Theater Bremen)
