This episode provides an overview of the major works by award-winning composer duo Roman Grygoriv and Illia Razumeiko – creators of 12 operas and founders of Opera Aperta, a laboratory of experimental opera in Kyiv. Plunging into their unique archeological process of creation, we position their work alongside the music and the ideas of major 20th – 21st century artists and intellectuals: Richard Foreman, David Lynch, Jorge Louis Borges, Umberto Eco, Les Kurbas, Hanna Havrylets, Karlheinz Essel, and Jorge Sánchez-Chiong.
Grygoriv and Razumeiko’s Chornobyldorf won the Opera and Music Theatre Award by the Royal Philharmonic Society in 2024 and received eight sold-out shows at LaMaMa Experimental Theatre Club in New York. Their most recent work, GAIA-24. Opera del Mondo, will be presented at O.Festival in Rotterdam and at the Venice Biennale.
