Ragazze Quartet, Jorinde Keesmaat, Tom W. Green & Lucia Lucas
Award-winning British poet Carol Ann Duffy's collection of poems offers a surprising perspective on historical female figures. What You See Festival co-produces this performance in which their voices come to life. A feminist, witty and exhilarating opera.
With text, song, string quartet and loop station we see a sexually awakening Little Red Riding Hood, an angry Princess Salome and a motherly Queen Herod, who kills all male babies out of love for her daughter. Baritone Lucia Lucas takes on all roles and, together with the Ragazze Quartet, searches for a new female voice.
Prior to the performance, from19:00 to 19:30 you can join associate professor of literature and Carol Ann Duffy expert Agnes Andeweg in her conversation with composer Tom W. Green and director Jorinde Keesmaat.
