Zosimos - a telematic opera
The project explores artistic strategies for interaction between musicians, instruments, and audience through the planning, design and performance of Zosimos, a telematic opera. The libretto depicts a journey across time and space, from Egypt in the 300s to present day Europe.
In this stage (3), the design of the dramaturgy for live, telematic performance will be woven together with 360-material, composition of music, choreography and scenography. To create an efficient workflow scenes will be created in a geographical order, starting in Cairo. These processes are documented on video and subject to analysis using stimulated recall. The analysis generates an intersubjective understanding of the artistic processes as it unfolds, and thereby contributes to the design of the next cycle of artistic experimentation.
