Contemporary Transgressive Opera – another project under The Platform of Newly Transgressive Sounds is launched

As we’ve mentioned many times before, The Platform of Newly Created Transgressive Sounds application project is all about pushing the boundaries of art. This time we will be doing so by working in the field of opera music, specifically, by working on a libretto for an opera.

And we won’t do it alone. Each of you can add your thoughts, ideas, texts, inspirations to the Contemporary Trangressive Opera.

On August 9, an online platform was launched, through which you can send your ideas in any form: text files, forms and surveys, photos, graphics or video files. They can relate to plots, characters, dialogues or scenes of the libretto. To ensure that in a free, but also coherent way, Internet users can refer to the drama under construction, the dramaturgy and plot canvass of the work will be supervised by a team – the Librettists Group. On the site you will also find a framework description on the overall concept of the libretto.

The final libretto will be written by acclaimed playwright Malgorzata Miszczuk-Sikorska.

You can find the link to the platform here: https://artmintaka.com/wspoltworz-libretto/

You can send your ideas until September 20.
