opera / theater

The search at the interface between music, theater and opera resulted in the implementation of projects exploring these non-obvious areas. The following were created:

Performances in China (Shanghai), Romania (Sibiu), Gdańsk (Shakespeare Festival), Warsaw (Warsaw Theater Meetings) and Wrocław.
The Song of the Goat Theater is one of the trends of post-Grotowski’s theater – looking for expression through the body – movement and voice. Polyphonic songs form the basis of the performances, and the unique, characteristic voices of the actors-vocalists give a specific sense of the sung polyphony.

Wojciech Błażejczyk – “Fake Opera”.
Kafka’s story entitled The “Shelter” or “The Pit” became the starting point for the creation of the Bunker. Fake Opera, in which the language of politics, media and our presence in it was written for the votes of: 4 performers, 10 instrumentalists, conductor, electronics and video. The work of Wojciech Błażejczyk and Waldemar Raźniak (libretto, direction) performed by Hashtag Ensemble had its premiere at the 64th Warsaw Autumn Festival of Contemporary Music in 2021 and was appreciated by audiences and critics. It is an innovative approach to opera, in which both the content and form are thoroughly contemporary, reflect the reality in which we live and discuss with it.

Karol Nepelski – “Birdy”
Chamber opera, the result of the collision of William Wharton’s novel “Ptasiek” with the world of sound and spatial experiments by the talented and respected composer Karol Nepelski. Libretto and direction: Waldemar Raźniak.
The premiere took place during the “Tête-à-tête” festival in London in 2019.
Description, photos and a recording of the entire performance available on the festival website:

Sciarrino “Aspern Suite”, “Luci mie traditrici”, “Superflumina”
One of the many years of fascination is the music of the Italian master from Sicily – Salvatore Sciarrino. His unique sound world was fascinated by the duo: Lilianna Krych and Pia Partum (director). The two of them led to the Polish premiere of the opera “Luci mie traditrici” and the creation of the unique video clip “Aspern Suite”. In the field of music interpretation, Sciarrino collaborates with Nodo Opera Days Ostrava, where the following operas are shown: “Luci mie traditrici” (2018) and “Superflumina” (2022).
