Apokaliptyczny chór! „SEIRENES” inSPIRACJE 2012

Już 1 czerwca tuż po zachodzie słońca wśród wielu świecących kubików festiwalowicze w ramach inSPIRACJI będą mogli obejrzeć „Syreny”. Spektakl, o którym stanowi 9 osobowy skład w tym dwoje reżyserów, chór 5-cio osobowy oraz DJ i „pan od dźwięku”. Trudno wyobrazić sobie lepszy koniec świata. „Syreny” miały swoją premierę w Berlinie, teraz w odsłonie bardziej dramatycznej zaprezentowane zostaną w patio 13 Muz. Za reżyserię odpowiedzialni są: Julia Lwowski oraz Michael Hoeppner.

Julia Lwowski, born in Odessa and grown up in Germany, has been studying opera directing at the Musikhochschule ‚Hanns Eisler’ in Berlin since 2008. Her productions include Carmen, La Traviata, Bastien und Bastienne, Die Flut (Boris Blacher), Der Vampyr (October 2011 in Szczecin). In her art, she seeks new ways to bring opera to the audience, as explored in recent productions that took place in the basement of a former Berlin brewery or an abandoned empty swimming pool. Julia has worked as an assistant to several leading German opera directors including Christine Mielitz and Uwe Laufenberg. She is a trained violinist, studied dance for many years, and has performed on stage as an actress. Her next production will be Tchaikovsky’s last opera Iolanta in October 2012.
Seirenes is a co-production between Julia Lwowski and her colleague Michael Höppner. It was conceived as an installation for voice and movement, and was first performed at the Stattbad Wedding, a former swimming pool in Berlin, in October 2011.
