MEDIATHEK

The Lists of Infinity is a new version of an opera originally produced for the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre in Ostrava and performed with orchestra and choir. The opera received the 2014 Theatre News award. Although the producers originally did not plan on any repeat performances, this spoken opera, with no characters or plot, belongs on the independent scene. For this reason, composer Martin Smolka rewrote it for a string quartet, harp and piano, and director Jiří Adámek and scenographer Ivana Kanhäuserová created a minimalist design that places the performers in close proximity to the audience.
 
Appearing in the main roles along with countertenor Jan Mikušek are the actor-speakers of Boca Loca Lab, who – under the direction of Jiří Adámek – are accustomed to musically precise instructions, detailed voice work, and the perfect interplay of rhythmically stylized spoken word.
