Role: Production, Dramaturgy, Video installation.
AUSSER SICH is both an essentialization and a maximalization of the premise of Richard Strauss’ and Oscar Wilde’s SALOME. It is a revisionist staging as well as an immersive installation into which the audience is drawn ever deeper, the barriers of presentational opera being swiped away as an unwanted date on a smartphone or entire species in a collapsing ecology.
