Re:master Opera
was a temporary master department at the Sandberg Institute (2022-2024) that revolves around opera and music-theatre. 15 students from a variety of different art-disciplines worked in a laboratory context and examined opera as a concept, as practice, and as a recurring and shared point of reference. The program aimed at finding original artistic strategies that can imbue this historic artform with fresh impulses and new experimental forms. As a collective they created 4 performances for Amsterdam Dance Event 2022/2023, Opera Forward Festival 2023/2024, No Art/Synergy Festival 2023.
Makers and performers:
Amanda Payne, Ari Teperberg, Caz Egelie, Diane Mahín, Luz, Hildur Elísa Jónsdóttir, Elena Štrok, Nadia Bakhshi, Sabine Pendry, SasaHara, Simone Goslinga.
