Jessica Nupen: Dance | Rap | Opera 'The Nose' (2021)
In a panel discussion, Jessica Nupen will present her Dance|Rap|Opera 'The Nose' (2021). Based on a short story by Nikolai Gogol, the current political and societal situation in South Africa is addressed. The questions under discussion are: Which position can opera take up in South African society? What influence can artistic production exert globally on postcolonial discourses?
Additionally, the fascinating process of transformation of media in the production, which was developed during the pandemic and evolved from a live production to a film and then a hybrid installation, will be analyzed on the basis of substantial archival film footage. The panel will discuss how this process of transformation influences the aesthetic and the genre.
