»reading tosca« – an exciting new choreographic reading of the puccini opera – is not a staging of this opera but rather a contemporary new composition in movement and sound.
in a polyphonic tableau the choreography unifies cruel poetry and discord, horrific images, sensitive portraits and increasingly ironic and critical reflections of society. puccini’s composition is deconstructed and the smallest particles appear as though originating from a hidden space. thus the music is also a poetic metaphor of fragility as well as a mirror of the opera’s inherent destructive power.
reality, desires and visions fall to pieces. in »reading tosca« everything can be reversed into its opposite; violence, torture, feelings of powerlessness, uncertainty and desire are intertwined into a brutal world full of inner conflicts.
