Judith: Klangtheater

In the organizer's words:

Körber Studio Award winner Giulia Giammona with her directorial debut in Wiesbaden

Giulia Giammona's theater combines elements of opera, drama and dance to create visually powerful narratives. From 2017 to 2019, she was stage manager at the Bayerische Staatsoper, where she presented her first own directorial works as part of the Festspielwerkstatt. She is now completing her directing studies at the Mozarteum Salzburg - Thomas Bernhard Institute, Department of Acting, Directing and Applied Theater with a production at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden. It will be an interdisciplinary musical work inspired by a mythological female figure: Judith. The surrealist painter and writer Leonora Carrington, whose theater texts are increasingly being rediscovered, has dedicated a short, previously unpublished drama to her. In it, the biblical woman and Carrington's own biographical persona merge with fantasies of violence, power and liberation. Giulia Giammona and her team of composer Johannes Brömmel and stage designer and sculptor Mariella Maier are developing a world premiere that combines text and song, space and sound.
