Beckett’s Travelling Opera, اپرای مسافر بکت is an opera performance that moves through space instead of staying on a stage, letting the architecture become part of the experience.
Bodies shift, fall, and rise, creating a kind of living choreography around repetition and endurance.
Inspired by Acts Without Words I & II by Samuel Beckett and The Last Judgment by Michelangelo, it brings together theatre, dance, music, and visual art. Voices, different languages, and sound mix with sculpture and painting to create a shared, immersive atmosphere.
It’s really about feeling movement, silence, and transformation together.
In this project, we had the chance to work with incredible people and almost lived inside the opera itself, rehearsing intensively for two months. I truly couldn’t have done it without all of you, and we are so grateful to work alongside such talented souls.
