The Little Girl Water Droplet

Children Opera

This performance and work was designed for a large public, as a pedagogical and an entertaining challenge both for the audience and the participants.

A Laugh to Cry

New Op-Era

A Laugh to Cry explores some primary concerns, which have always haunted human beings, and reveals them from the perspective of our contemporary globalized world. This gains shape through a meditation on the hegemonic power of the destruction of memory, the devastation of the Earth and even the collapse of humanity.
