Succé för Rikard Borggårds performance-opera Sorelle med SEAS-projektet i Skegness, England, den 26-28 september!
Nottingham Visual Arts skrev:
"After an evening of swapping stories of public ineractions with a new
friend over a fish and chip supper, I returned to the Embassy Theater
for the highlight of the weekend, Sorelle.
A
fantastically creepy production, this cleverly directed, experimental
opera is based on the true story of three sisters in Montenegro who,
upon realising they are in love with the same abscent sea captain, vow
to wait faithfully for him to return.
On a simple
revolving set, three women demonstrated the agony, ecstas and
expectations of love and relationships to a fragmented soundtrack of
cellos and electronica. Their beautiful costumes, reminicent of
Victorian corsets and bustles rendered in the clinical whiteness of
insane asylum uniforms, were frequently removed to reveal black
maid-like dresses as they slipped between visions of subservient
perfection, Femme Fatales and tourmented souls. Any illusion of devoted
housewifes soon shattered as their natural flaws and reactionary vices
were revealed behind the windows of their house to the whispering
taunts of "Perfect, perfect, perfect".
Neatly aligning the existentialist and domestic concerns in Waiting and the nightmarish, otherwordly feeling of Suitcases, the
opera tore through feminist issues of sexual and domestic repression
from external and personal, social and religious expectations. The
hysterical women's downfall, watched blithely by their man (played by
the third sister in an inanely grinning mask) as they writhed in
near-possessed agony/ecstacy, will take a long time to leave my
thoughts."
