OPERA AND ECOLOGY

On the occasion of the revival of Romeo Castellucci’s Requiem, this roundtable examines the many facets of the ecological question in opera today, at a time when the disappearance of living species and the collapse of ecosystems have become impossible to ignore. What narratives, forms of dramaturgy, production models and organisational approaches must be imagined for the opera of tomorrow?

WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF: Frédérique Aït-Touati (stage director, researcher, director of the Cité internationale), Piersandra Di Matteo (dramaturge), Tiphaine Colombain (responsible for coordinating the COFEES network) and Frédéric Lyonnet (deputy technical director – Festival d’Aix)
