PARISIAN LIFE
Parisian life
A Divine Comedy by Jaques Offenbach, NOVOFLOT and Ensemble Mosaik (chamber orchestra), vocal ensemble, dancers and actors.
Paradise - it's called Paris. Paris is a place of longing: centre of the world economy, of fashion, of love and amusement...realm of fantasy and obsession.
“Life is big, expensive, difficult and perfect”- “And my mind, it hurries away in a great flight”
With the performance of Jaques Offenbach's Parisian Life, NOVOFLOT dedicates itself for the first time to the genre of operetta. The title of the work is taken literally. The piece reads this as a metaphorical translation for the human handling of life, its socio-cultural abnormalities in consumer society, its lies and curiosities in the chaos of the widely repressed apocalypse.
