Immersive project around the opera Bluebeard’s Castle by Béla Bartók (1881-1945)
Libretto by Béla Balázs (1884-1949), created in 1918 in Budapest
Creation in 2024 in Leipzig
The composer tells the story of Judith, who discovers the fears and loneliness of Bluebeard behind seven doors of her Castle. The director connects this solitude to that experienced by many elderly people and integrates their testimonies: voices from the inhabitants of Hauts-de-France resound at each passage of the doors.
The audience moves freely in the middle of the show and can be closer to the artists.
