“EXZESS – A Techno-Opera” by Noam Brusilovsky & Tobias Purfürst is shortlisted for Prix Italia

The 76th edition of PRIX ITALIA will take place in Turin from October 1-4, 2024 under the title “Loud and Clear”.
The competition features the production “EXZESS – A Techno Opera” by Noam Brusilovsky and Tobias Purfürst (category: Radio & Podcast Music).

Jessica and Brian, a tourist couple, visit Berlin’s most famous techno club. They are happy to have made it inside this huge industrial hall shrouded in legend. Their plan: dance, take drugs, indulge in the sound. A few hours later, Jessica is found by the club staff, collapsing on the floor. The diagnosis: intoxication with high doses of ecstasy. She is dead within a few hours.
The radiophonic techno opera EXZESS tells the story of dying in a club. In an uninterrupted techno set, the protagonist Jessica (Susanna Hurrell) sings her dying aria. The tragedy is that Jessica is fully aware that her organs are gradually failing and that time cannot be turned back. And as in classical opera, dying becomes spectacular in this technoid epic.

25.–26.08.2024: VACA by Guillermo Calderón part of Kunstfest Weimar

VACA (Cow) by Guillermo Calderón
Directed by: Guillermo Calderón

Guillermo Calderón is one of Chile’s most prominent playwrights. In his play VACA (“Cow”), three realities collide: a half-broken theater stage with a socially irrelevant program, a cheaply equipped TV-studio with radicalizing talk shows and a workshop of bicycle suppliers struggling for their own existence. And the whole thing revolves around a sick cow that suddenly gives too much milk!

The world premiere will take place on August 25 at 4 p.m. as part of the Kunstfest Weimar.
On August 26, following the performance (8 p.m.), Thomas Oberender, Chairman of the Goethe Medal Commission, will talk to Guillermo Calderón and Carmen Romero Quero, “Teatro a Mil” Foundation.
