INSULÆ- premiere

21st of septembre 2025
ATM Studio, Warsaw Autumn, Warsaw Poland

For six musiciens, light, video & electronics

Pierre Jodlowski’s new opera transports the audience to an island in the ocean of time, where three characters: a man and two women, attempt to understand the chaotic world around them and confront their thoughts and emotions. Cross the fluid boundaries between reality and fiction and observe fleeting images in this fireworks display of compositional and performance intermedia technologies. After its premiere in Warsaw, it will be presented at other European festivals.
