Fragments of iconic operas linked to collective memory and deconstructed, their sweetness stripped away in a gradual descent from the romantic era of their source to a nihilistic terrain, reflecting both a darker view of the passions expressed in these arias and the fragmentation of the social utopia that gave them birth. A dance like wind in grass between dusk and night.
