Dublin Theatre Festival: Breathwork by Éna Brennan
Project Arts Centre
Beware! The well is poisoned. The sea is infected. Everything has been consumed. Lamentation is too late. Guilt has no positive outcome. An opera about a dystopian world aff ected by some form of destructive force.
The world premiere of this intimate new opera by CMC Composer Éna Brennan (aka Dowry) is a statement of horror and protest in response to the destruction of our environment. Breathwork, with a text by Olivier Award-winning director David Pountney, offers a foretaste of a larger operatic collaboration that will premiere at Austria’s Bregenz Festival next year.
Breathwork is a companion work to a larger composition Hold Your Breath by Éna Brennan and David Pountney which has been commissioned by Bregenzer Festspiele.
Directed by John McIlduff
Libretto by David Pountney
Performed by Andrew Gavin, Michelle O’Rourke, Kelli-Ann Masterson.
Presented by the Irish National Opera, at Dublin Theatre Festival.
