Hotel Pro Forma’s striking imagery blends with Scandinavian electro-pop masters The Knife’s groundbreaking music to create a new species of electro dance opera
When Danish contemporary opera auteurs Hotel Pro Forma brought their landmark exploration of the Orpheus myth Operation: Orfeo to Australia last decade, the result was a nationwide sell-out sensation. Now, for their much anticipated return, they focus on Charles Darwin in the stunning ultra contemporary opera, Tomorrow, in a year.
In 1859 Darwin published The Origin of Species and our view of the world was changed forever by his theory of evolution. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the publication, Hotel Pro Forma created an awe inspiring, large-scale operatic spectacle that will change our view of opera forever. Tomorrow, in a year is inspired by Darwin’s perception of nature and time. Directors Ralf Richardt Strøbech and Kirsten Dehlholm have created a lavish visual and conceptual universe formed by Darwin’s thoughts, experiences and letters.
On stage an ensemble of singers and actors representing Darwin, time and nature, perform experimental and exploratory compositions that challenge conventional conceptions of opera. Six dancers from a variety of dance backgrounds form the raw material of life through movement choreographed by Japanese artist Hiroaki Umeda. The unconventional score, created by Swedish electro pop duo The Knife in collaboration with musicians Planningtorock and Mt Sims, was partly recorded in the Amazon Jungle and Iceland and combines sounds from the natural world with man-made electronic atmospherics, interspersed with swirling vocals. Together with the latest technology in light and sound, our image of the world as a place of incredible variation, similarity and unity is re-discovered in this revolutionary electronic feast for the senses.
