DIe JUDITH VON SHIMODA
Fabián Panisello after Berthold Brecht
Bregenzer Festspiele & Neue Oper Wien
June - November 2023
Auch eine Frau ist ein Mensch, nicht?
Die Judith von Shimoda,
‘Die Judith von Shimoda’ examines the impact of patriarchy and gender violence on a society and meets this topic with respect, seriousness and humor.
World premiere was on August 17th 2023 on the Werkstattbühne at Bregenzer Festspiele, more shows this November at Theater Akzent, Vienna.
Great Open Eyes seeks to be developed and performed in collaboration with communities and their opera institutions. The process begins with interviewing locals through partnerships with churches, support groups, and psychotherapists. Then collective experiences are drawn from the recorded interviews. The focus here is on similarities in grief processing and perceptions, but not on reproducing or recognizing individual fates on stage.
Comissioned and produced by Bregenzer Festspiele and Neue Oper Wien.
