Judith's gaze is all about encounters. Bluebeard and Judith begin their fatal relationship in Duke Bluebeard's Castle by Béla Bartók and Béla Balázs.
In a new work by composer Malin Bång and author Mara Lee, Judith enters into a dialogue with the dark. She processes her loss in a purifying process. Two pieces, one story; old and new. Two 21st century female artists enter into dialogue with the symbolist repertoire of the 20th century. Wouter Van Looy directs in collaboration with the French scenographer Marie Szersnovich. The young composer Siebe Thijs arranges Bartók's masterpiece for a 14-strong ensemble.
