Translated as foreign
and stateless person, "Auslaender und Staatenlose" explores cultural
dislocation in the 20th Century. The opera intertwines the phenomenon of
refugee culture and transmigration, with that of the composer's own direct
experiences and stories authored by his grandmother, Elena Garton.
"Auslaender" is conceived in the tradition of such experimental works as Robert Wilson's play, "Black Rider", the multimedia opera from Wilson and Philip Glass, "Einstein on the Beach", and the radio-phonic composition, "Radio Inferno", by German composers, Andreas Ammer and FM Einheit. |
