Così

Two young couples are trying, each in their own language, to prove how sincere their love is.

Two actors, two singers, a pianist and a violinist. Based on Mozart’s opera Così fan tutte they hold an experiment in which they search for possible freedom within a love relationship. Can love be cast into a structure? A high-risk business which examines both structured love and opera itself, the structured language of emotion.

Tom Goossens is a TRANSLAB resident.

Composition: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart • Text: Lorenzo Daponte • Concept | Direction | Text Adaptation | Scenography: Tom Goossens • Musical Direction | Arrangements | Piano: Wouter Deltour • Musical Dramaturgy: Lalina Goddard • Scenography | Lighting design: Geert Vanoorlé • Mask: Lotte Stek • Costumes: Marij De Brabandere • Guglielmo: Jokke Martens • or Lucas Cortoos • Fiordiligi: Annelies Van Gramberen • or Esther Kouwenhoven • Alfonso: Wouter Deltour • Despina: Clara Cleymans • or Joke Emmers • Dorabella: Carine van Bruggen • Ferrando: Arne Luiting

Goossens combines an infectious acting style (playing directly to the audience) with luxuriant virtuoso singing and makes very clever use of both: the acting keeps up the pace of the story while the singing provides the emotional colour. And Deltour’s piano is a steadfast guide.
