From the collaboration between CTA and Piccolo Opera Festival comes a production that creates new connections between the world of opera and figure theatre.
Turandot Express', winner of the EFFEA-European Fund For Emerging Artists 2024 call for tenders, is an authentic opera role-play, where all the elements of the stage become co-protagonists together with the two singers/actors. Objects come to life, transforming into characters and demonstrating how imagination can breathe life into things: they not only tell the story, but also accompany it in the transition from spoken word to song.
On the 100th anniversary of Giacomo Puccini's death, ‘Turandot Express’ is designed to underline how experimentation with new forms of performance can bring opera into innovative cultural contexts and involve new audiences.
