THE KAISER OF ATLANTIS
Argentinien, Spanien, Niederlande, Tschechische Republik 2022 – Director: Sebastián Alfie – English subtitles, Q&A with Sébastian Alfie (director) – live via Zoom – Length: 77 min.
Death takes a holiday. People can no longer die. But then the Hitler/Kaiser perishes. Together with the conductor Kerry Woodward, who is the custodian of this exceptional musical score, Sebastián Alfie reconstructs the complex and touching story of a chamber opera created amid inhumanity, which is compellingly topical.
