A backdrop of a fictive landscape is raised on the stage at the Royal Opera in Stockholm. It pertains to the technical rehearsals for Franz Schreker’s opera ”Der ferne Klang”. Meanwhile, a separate sound recording captures orchestra members rehearsing Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. These preparatory moments come together in a new context: a former monastery, transformed cultural center in Naples. The installation proposes a prologue to an alternative spectacle, reflecting on the construction of reality.
