Unser Vater / Vater unser
Tischlerei (Deutsche Opera Berlin). 2021
World Premiere
Composition: Sehyung Kim
Libretto: Peter Neugschwentner
Sehyung Kim's work deals with the influence of totalitarian dogmas on people and the concept of freedom.
Transferring the action to a post-apocalyptic factory where productivity has become the only creed of the human race, this staging raises the question of how far we are capable of freeing ourselves from our beliefs and thought patterns as a society and if we could truly create new realities without repeating the schemes from which we try to escape from.
