Maifestspiele

In his new vocal-instrumental melodrama ›AGOTA? Die Analphabetin (Gestern/Irgendwo)‹, Helmut Oehring embarked upon a search for identity and language in the works of Ágota Kristóf, a Hungarian writer in exile; he was joined in this search by librettist Stefanie Wördemann and sound designer Torsten Ottersberg. Together with the award-winning theatre and film actress Dagmar Manzel in the role of ›AGOTA‹ as well as three instrumental and vocal soloists, Ensemble Modern will perform the world premiere of the melodrama under the baton of Peter Rundel at the Hessian State Theatre Wiesbaden on May 4. Further performances are scheduled for May 7, 14, 19 and 28.
