Description

Set to a libretto by Marcel Beyer, this opera tells of a child whose parents were massacred leaving him to be raised by foster parents. The child goes on a journey to find his real parents asking himself, ‘Where are my real parents?’ and ‘Who am I?’

The audience follows the aural and visual representation of the child’s existencial voyage as he prepares to become an adult. Nevertheless, this journey is by no means without peril.

Awaiting him are violent forces of nature (earthquakes and tsunamis), the terrifying unconscious mass violence hidden in the heart of humans, and the ferocity of nature; on the other hand, there emerges the love story of his parents, the solidarity of mankind, and the grace of nature. Toshio Hosokawa
