Der Fremde | Kammeroper von Cecilia Arditto Delsoglio und Annette Müller nach Originaltexten aus »L’Étranger« von Albert Camus

In the organizer's words:

A poetic world of voices, noises, instrumental sounds, fans and water bowls? The composer Cecilia Arditto was the winner of the 2020 composition competition for new chamber operas based on Albert Camus' novel "The Stranger". She reads Camus' key novel about life in the age of the absurd as a kind of score in which the real thing is always between the lines: The sun, the heat, the smells, the sea. "The one who had stabbed Raymond looked at him without saying anything. The other one blew on a small flute and, while looking at us, kept repeating the three notes he could get out of his instrument. All this time there was nothing but the sun and this silence with the soft murmur of the spring and the three notes." Together with director Annette Müller, Cecilia Arditto Delsoglio will turn the story of the completely indifferent Algerian-Frenchman Meursault, his girlfriend Marie, the petty criminal Raymond and a completely incomprehensible murder of an Algerian into an intimate drama of sounds.
