Adapted from the sulphurous work of Count de Lautréamont - shooting star of French literature - Opéra de Maldoror plunges spectators into the intimacy of a barbaric and sumptuous ritual.
Eight paintings, each a flamboyant masterpiece, serve as a visual gateway into the dark, phantasmagorical universe of the author. This stark contrast between beauty and darkness is further accentuated by the extreme acting of the performers.A disturbing, unusual and captivating “parlor opera”.
