Stage Intro

The Stage is a fundamental place in the exhibition layout of Opera Opera, a project that seeks to open up to the urban context in its dialog with the public.

The works presented outdoor are experiential and performative, transforming the city into a theatrical Stage, on which the artists enter into arelationship with the everyday life of public spacesand with those who normally inhabit them. As they walk down Unter den Linden, passers-by aredrawn into sensory and emotional participation when they are captivated by the solo voice of Susan Philipsz in a mesmerizing a cappella version of David Bowie’s Wild Is the Wind.

Meanwhile, Marinella Senatore’s installation, inspired by the illuminations of popular festivals in southern Italy, provides a theatrical backdrop. With its colored lights, it embraces people in a collective moment of sharing, in an Alliance des corps that is much needed today.

Lastly, we have the mystical encounter with Justin Bennett’s Oracle 2.0, which suggests historical and current predictions, offering the right person at the right time a new reading of reality, which is allegro ma non troppo (cheerful but not excessively so).
