musical performance
A wild party - or the ball of the time
Jorge Sanchez-Chiong / Thomas Jelinek
premiere
The increasing digitization of all areas of life not only influences how we deal with time, but also our perception of it. Time was, is and remains relative.
The OPERA of TIME follows, as a multimedia music performance project by Thomas J. Jelinek and Jorge Sánchez-Chiong,
after OPERA of ENTROPY, in which the genre 'opera' is restructured into a contemporary experimental process.
The project moves between fine (media) art, contemporary performance and music composition and becomes a "contemporary opera" in a digital projection installation. The opera becomes a kind of party that uses strategies of avant-garde, contemporary music production and theater to create a participatory discourse process and transdisciplinary resonance space.
The state of affairs of our present and the world perception of contemporary humanity is negotiated in the context of the digitization of all areas of life - which has made time a relativizing measure of things.
Party meets physics, meets history, meets radical arts.
Actors and guests are on the same level, a digital ballroom, and become part of the staging and installation - a surreal festival of time, as a party of melancholic exuberance.
90 minutes of powerful music composition carry through the media and performative sequences.
The superficially banal is generated in loops and time warps, in which time reveals itself.
