It’s not over until the soprano dies
mala voadora
Many operas end with women dying. They shine on stage, full of charisma, and then they die, almost always victims of their relationship with men – either because men kill them, or because the love they devote to men leads them to their deaths. And the audience applauds. The audience applauds the virtuosity of the singers, the quality of the music and, with it, the death to which they are subjected. It’s not over until the soprano dies. This is a feminist opera that points to the paradox of this applause of death. In the context of a house inhabited by several families who act without seeing each other, we will recreate the endings of operas. Until, despite the musical and lyrical delight, the killing cannot be seen as natural anymore.
In several languages, subtitled in Portuguese
