Opera by György Kurtág

Opera in one act, text by the composer based on the play of the same name by Samuel Beckett

Production, stage, costumes: Herbert Fritsch

Premiere: October, 16 2024

Four figures vegetate in a hostile, almost uninhabitable landscape: Clov and Hamm, Nagg and Nell. Hamm, in a wheelchair, is served by Clov, who can still walk a little. Hamm's parents Nell and Nagg have been living in (garbage) garbage cans since they lost their legs in a cycling accident. These four move between the continuous return of the unchangeable and the memory of "the past" by bullying and cajoling each other, conjuring and cursing, narrating and interrupting.

Venue
