Exhibition “Opera as the World. The quest for a total work of art” included in the program of the celebration of the 350th anniversary of the Paris National Opera, aims to investigate the phenomenon of the unity of arts (German Gesamtkunstwerk), based on the principles of the development of the art of opera. The exposition is created in accordance with the principles of staging an opera performance and consists of 10 “micro acts”. It does not follow the chronology of the genre development, but addresses themes and ideas related dramatically, which together allow the visitors to gain experience of the very “unity of arts”, which is innate to Wagnerian tradition.
The exhibition does not seek to fully cover the topic. It affects all the senses and shows how the opera, on the one hand, borrowed from the visual arts, and on the other hand, nourished them. Małgorzata Szczęśniak, a permanent co-author of the theater director Krzysztof Warlikowski and the stage and costume designer of his performances created the scenography of the exhibition.
Exhibition curators Stéphane Ghislain Roussel and Anne Horvath will tell you how creating an exhibition project that affects all the senses allows you to explore the traditional genre of opera, which appears as a space of experiment and, at the same time, of social adequacy.
About the program:
This workshop is a part of the section «Theatre and museum. Project work» within the educational program «Theatre and museum. Collaboration experiences».
Joint project work is also an opportunity to reinterpret traditional, common genres and forms of cultural activity.
Contextual tasks of museum and theater projects cannot be accomplished without the formation and development of organizational, administrative, and production skills and competencies in their creators, that allow them to efficiently implement the projects, respond to requests and suggestions from the art team and establish inter-institutional cooperation and partnership.
The course presents forms and formats of museum and theater collaboration and allows participants to master their skills of implementing and producing the projects created at the intersection of theater and museum practices. The course facilitates development of competencies in the area of project management, logistics, timing, legal and financial issues, marketing in cultural activities, from the idea of museum and theater project to its implementation and promotion.
The course involves studying the experience of the world’s largest institutions as well as work with Russian curators and producers.
