Così
> Continue to more recent data of this production
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.

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.
