Fidelio

Realized within the same basic structure of Freischütz, a large installation constituted by photographs, lighting bulbs, civilian clothing, elements of the prison world; minimal video projections, giving up set set costumes and props except for military uniforms and a gun.

Beethoven’s Opera staged as a secular ritual, stripped of any kind of theatrical naturalism.
