Nikolaus Brass
Composer Nikolaus Brass. Libretto by the composer using texts by Tomas Tranströmer, Rose Foreigner and Mahmout Darwish.
Music theater in two parts and an epilogueDuration est. 1 hours 40 minutes

On the journey called life, the protagonist (known as “The Lover”) is reminded of various experiences and long-suppressed events. The way we deal with the past and our relentless self-questioning lies at the centre of Nikolaus Brass’ opera – here, life is seen as a mesh of fleeting encounters and fragmented relationships.
