Festival+ 2007

…drawling and stretching and fainting in coils…
A project by Diana Thater


For the series Festival+ (Festspiel+) Kent Nagano is presenting a new artistic concept that engages new music and contemporary art in a dialogue:
As part of the Munich Opera Festival 2007 the Pinakothek der Moderne is cooperating with the Bavarian State Opera to realise an extraordinary project. It has invited the Los Angeles-based media and installation artist Diana Thater (*1962) to stage an exhibition at different points along the route between the opera and the museum. For this six other artists, whom she has chosen to join her, will be collaborating on the project. The contributions of Leo Estevez, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, T. Kelly Mason, Katy Schimert, Jill Spector, Dawson Weber, together with that of Diana Thater herself, are based on motifs taken from Lewis Carroll’s story »Alice in Wonderland«. The book forms the point of departure for the opera of the same name by the Korean composer Unsuk Chin. It will receive its premiere at the Munich Opera Festival, directed and staged by Achim Freyer and with Kent Nagano conducting.
The dialogue between the Fine Arts and music will be performed by the Californian avant-garde saxophonist Ben Wendel and the German trumpeter Till Brönner.
