Lolita - world premier

Posted by fineberg · View this Member's Sponsored Project
Lolita is a collective project for an ensemble of musicians, electronic sounds and treatments, a narrator, video images and three dancers, inspired by Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita. This opera is constructed entirely within the mind of its narrator Humbert Humbert, who is writing his memoir/ novel. All the ‘sung’ voices heard by the audience are the result of computer transformations of the narrator’s spoken voice: they are simply manifestations of his speech/writing. All that is shown on stage are the projections of his visions/fantasies. This will place us in the heart of Humbert’s perspective and allow us to witness the unfolding of his delusions. This movement from internal to external perspective places the audience in the deeply uncomfortable situation of feeling simultaneously attracted to and revolted by this most seductive monster.
